When going to a concert in downtown Portland, first things first- food carts. This ones a favorite of mine! And not just because of it's name (or hashtag) ;).
(This will forever and always be one of my favorite pictures ever taken).
Next- you take a picture in front of the parking garage, because it's not a
true crystal ballroom concert unless you take a picture in front of
this wall.
Then you wait in line for a couple hours...
Then, once they let you into the venue, you run up to the front and claim your space...and wait there for a couple more hours...
Then you ROCK OUT.
Also- as you are rocking out, the lead singer may just point directly at you as he sings the words
"you're so delicious..." Your friends will laugh at you. And you will freak out. It's totally okay.
(ps- if you ever end up going to a Matt Nathanson concert, know that he is basically the weirdest, most perverted person ever. And it's kind of hilarious...)
Lastly, you take a blurry picture with
your favorite singer ever. Because even though he was just the opening act, you totally came to this concert just to see him.
