Portland, OR (Hawthorne Theater)

Our show last night was in Portland, OR at the Hawthorne Theater. We got
to the venue and did the normal routine. The venue was really cool! It
was all nice and clean. (Often times, a lot of venues we play are a bit
run down and dirty.) There were four bands on the show. (The fifth band
couldn't make it.)

Before the show, Matt and I went to an American Apparel store. They
have some really cool clothes. I didn't buy anything, though, I
definitely saw some stuff that I liked.

There was a decent crowd (of ~100). The guys didn't play their best.
It was a mix of Corey being sick and a few other little mishaps. They
still sounded decent, it just wasn't their 'A game'. Everyone has an
off night though. The guys got a decent crowd response. We did ok in
merch.

The sound was pretty good at the venue and all the employees were really
nice. Overall, it was a decent show.

After the show, we said goodbye to Matt's brother, Chip, and headed
towards Orangevale, CA.

We're now about 9 hours into our drive to Orangevale, CA (where we play
tonight). The venue (called 'The Boardwalk') is supposed to be really
sweet. These string of California shows should be really good. I'm
excited for them!
