The Blues Festival is one of the best venues in Portland to hear up-and-coming musicians as well as those well-established in the music realm. Joe and I used to make it a point to get to the festival during its four-day run during the Fourth of July celebration. But this year, when people ask, “Are you going to the Blues Festival?” We say, yes, but all we have to do is open a window, we live that close. To see the fireworks, we just step out on our balcony. This year, instead of one big barge like usual, the organizers decided to have two little barges. Fireworks are shot off the barge on the Willamette River, which makes for quite a sight. Not to complain or anything, but the two little barges made you divide your attention too much (Remember, I am not the Mean Girl in Portland). One barge full of fireworks is much more dramatic.
