MFNW 2011
by Alan Justin Patterson and Joshua Cooke
Though we left Puddletown this summer in search of drier pastures, our love for Portland, Oregon remains intact. Old hat Alan Justin Patterson and newcomer Joshua Cooke hit the streets to venue hop throughout our former homebase, covering the Musicfest Northwest lineup, featuring bands like The Kills, MSTRKRFT, Suuns, and noteworthy Portlanders Typhoon and Kelli Schaefer.
And for some reason this year, no one wore shoes onstage. Weird.
