PDX POP NOW!

So this post doesn't have much to do with Quarter Orange, but we also want this blog to showcase our personalities, and other hobbies, so from time to time we may post stuff that is not related to our projects, or even to our field of work. Enjoy.



If you live anywhere near Portland, you should know about PDX POP NOW! and if you don't, you soon will. PDX POP NOW! is a three day festival showcasing local bands to the community for free. This year, like last, the shows will be occurring at Rotture, a venue located at 315 SE 3rd Ave Portland, OR 97214. The festival is this weekend with shows from 6pm-1am Friday the 24th, and 12pm-1am Saturday and Sunday the 25th/26th.
