As far as my favorite shows, just thought I'd throw my two cents in:
Elvis Costello at the Hult Center in Eugene
Modest Mouse and IQU (then ICU) at the Crystal Ballroom
The Music Tapes and Olivia Tremor Control at 17 Nautical Miles
The New Bad Things and Matthew Hattie Hein at 17 Nautical Miles
The Spice Girls at the Rose Garden (yes, I saw them, and yes, they were
amazing)
Also, add one to those who call the fair city of Portland, OR, home.
(close your eyes and you'll see nothing at all
or maybe it's just Eeverything at once)
