Anyone up for some music and micro's?

I just discovered that Red Fang is playing at the Malt Ball in Portland on March 8. Been wanting to see them, but every time I check they're in Europe. Just bought our tickets for the show and wondering if anyone else is going?

Nobody likes Red Fang? Confused

Anyway, its at the Wonder Ballroom. Any Portlanders know how the parking is there?

I've actually never heard of them until now. But I just sampled a few of their songs and like them. I also haven't been to the Wonder Ballroom but I imagine that parking will be similar to most other concert halls in Portland. Which will probably be either metered street side parking or a paid parking lot. Arrive early and be prepared to drive around trying to find a spot and walk.

IIRC Wonder ballroom is kind of sorta of residential parking. Follow Skyler's advice.

Red Fang kicks ass.

Thanks Paul, and Skyler. We're planning to get there early enough to eat nearby. There's a fancy Argentine steakhouse a block away.. going to try for that.

Beer tasting and Red Fang, what could be better? Very Happy

Was a good time! The other 3 bands were ok. Best was a pair of drummers. No guitars, no singer.. just 2 people with drums/synthizers.

About 30 different micro's on tap. Each of our tickets came with 4 beers.. We got there at 7 and were the first ones at the door.. not even anybody working to tell you whats up. Then this Santa Claus looking dude comes out to tell the volunteers where to go.. He didn't want to be there so he gave us more free beer tickets and left us to run the door. LOL Ended up getting 6 free beers off of telling about 3 people to around the back. Laughing

Fang was so freaking loud it was more feel the vibration then hear anything. I thought I could hear colors for awhile. They sound alot different live, alot harder. Loved it.

We were going to eat at a place called the Ox, opened at 5 and we got there before they opened. Well its first come first serve and from our position in line it was a 2hr wait. Shocked

So ate at the Russel street BBQ. Place was great, great food, great service and awesome friendly people.

Right on. Russell St BBQ is great. I take my dad there every time he's in town.

I checked out the YT link, like Skyler, I'd never heard of them before either.

Rock on!
