I am attending the 2nd annual Portland Music Awards tonight with fellow NW Noise Boy Jason Gears and Jeremy Reid, former lead singer of LA metal bands Ragged and Ruin. Many friends of Northwest Noise are up for awards tonight, including Debra Arlyn, Oh Darling, The Dimes, Derby, Tea For Julie, The Slants, Blind Pilot, and Alex Steininger. My good friend, Matt, whose musical tastes are far cooler than my own, sent me this article from the Willamette Week which pretty much sums up my feelings of tonight's event. However, I'm going in with an open mind and I'm sure to have a good time, regardless of the validity, or lack thereof, of these awards. At the very least, organizer Craig Marquardo must have spent a lot of time putting this event together in an attempt to recognize the area's best talent, and I have to respect him for that.

Yes, I enjoyed the evening as far as spending time with friends and watching live local music. As far as the awards themselves... well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion :)
