[sheldonm]

Thought I would drop a note and see if anyone from the board is attending this years Portland Jazz Fest. I'll be out there photographing for Downbeat and others from 2/24-2/28. Shoot me a pm if you'll be there.

I live here (well, duh!)but probably won't go, unless I win a ticket to something...

[jazzkrow]

I might show up and see you there...

[sheldonm]

...there's one of the problems...no one wants to go unless they get a free ticket!!!

[Rooster_Ties]

Looking at the schedule, there's a bunch of FREE stuff, some of which looks mighty interesting. Just a couple that caught my eye, probably others of interest (but names I didn't recognize)...

I'm moving to Portland in a couple of years, mostly to be close to grandkids, but also to hear some live music. I'd love to hear/see some of those concerts!
