The Bite

Today I went down to The Bite of Oregon on the waterfront, both to grab some delicious grub and to see the music. The waterfront has always been notorious for hosting really weird Portland bands at all its events, but this year they wanted to change that. Someone my mom knows was in charge I guess, and they did a good job. The Bite is a 3 day festival, and today, Sunday, was their big music day. They had a lot of good little bands over the weekend, but today they had scheduled Snow Patrol and The Subways, two pretty big names. Unfortunately, due to the new terrorist plane scare regulations over in London, Snow Patrol couldn't make it, which sucked. But The Subways were here from London already, this was the last stop on their American tour, so they played.
















I had heard them before, their hit "Rock & Roll Queen", and didn't like it much. I was surprised to find out today that I liked every one of their other songs more than their hit, so I enjoyed it.

Before we got there though, I saw one of those signs that isn't quite right.

















So...which way does that sign point? That's right...and what way is that bike going? Oh, right, the wrong way. What the hell? The sign is breaking its own rule! Just kinda funny.

Now it's off to work tomorrow, finally. It's about time. I'll be at Umpqua Bank downtown, not sure what yet, but at least it's work.
