P-Town & Graceland

i went to p-town this past weekend to meet up with my family that was visiting the area. it was, of course, a whirlwind shopping tour...what else are you supposed to do there! i spent a bunch of money on things i might not have bought had i not been in portland. it's definitely the "asian" in me that makes me start to rationalize buying something "now" when i can save on tax b/c i'm going to "need" it sometime in the future.



tonight i went to graceland, a small live music venue that hosts shows for local bands. i went there to see the audiobiography...abe's band! some other friends and i went to go be "abe groupies"...we were really excited to finally get to see his band perform live. an added bonus to tonight was that we also knew people in the two bands that performed before abe's band...arick is the bass player in autumn sonata and the second band was cody who (the lead singer performed at a past co-hi). all of the bands did a great job, and it was a fun AND deafening night!
