Edgefield, anyone?

[jomult]

My very first MMJ concert..Anyone else on here going? McMenamins Edgefield, Troutdale, Oregon, June 28th. I might be a cryer....don't know; I'm just so anxious! 9 hour drive! Any advice from those who have been there?   :D

[vespachick]

I'll be there as will a few other faithful board members.  The Edgefield is a great venue.  You should get there early and make use of the putt-putt, distillery, and many bars throughout the hotel/premises. 

The bummer is that there is a sound ordinance and so (1) the shows end much earlier than at most other places (but starts earlier to make up for it); and (2) It is never loud enough for me.  That aside, it's a pretty sweet way to spend an evening.  See ya on the rail. 
Ruby me.

Thank you.....somehow I feel comforted by your reply.

I'll be there - 9 hour drive as well!   I used to live in Portland so there is no way I could miss that show.  Edgefield is a way cool venue.

I agree, it's a great venue. I saw The Black Crowes there a few years back and had an awesome time.

I don't know if I can make this one, though...

the 08 Edgefiled show is what really got me hooked on MMJ.

I was blown away by the venue/surrounding area. Could not have been chiller

$3 Pabst tallies all night as well.  that was nice

Rizzo and Rizzo Gal will be there. Coming out from Denver to Seattle and then down to Portland. Bringing my bro and his wife who we turned onto MMJ at the 08 Edgefield show.

You know I will be there...

I'd definitely like to buy Ms. Yvon and Wizzard a frosty beverage at the show - I believe gratitude must be shown for a rampantly badass sticker (which is still on my fridge!) and awesome vegan gravy recipe bestowed to me years ago!

Bring your rain jackets folks...we currently have some showers in the forecast for Tuesday.  At least it is showers and not rain.  We may not even see said showers out at the Edgefield, as showers imply a more random and on-off scenario (vs. rain which is widespread and steady).  But the show goes on rain or shine at the Edgefield.  I stood in a downpour last year at the Willie Nelson show which was a blast until our car almost got stuck in the mud pit of a parking lot.

First post:  I so hope to meet some of you at Edgefield.  I'm so stoked for this show and love the venue.  Bring on the rain!  Oregonians love the liquid sunshine...

Can't wait for this show tomorrow!
Going to Black Keys tonight in Vancouver then off first thing.

I'll be rocking my demon skull boats, I know Yim has his furrys now but I still love them.

To rock the Nintendo gun or not is the question. ;)
