This past weekend was the fourth annual PDX Pop Now! free all-ages festival of Portland music. I’ve been on the board of PDX Pop since it’s inception and I feel pretty confident saying that this was the most successful year we’ve ever had. We moved the fest to a new venue, Audio Cinema, directly under the Hawthorne Bridge on the eastside. We had an outdoor stage for the first time (which had been a collective dream of ours since the beginning) and by far the most attendance we’ve seen.
Just like last year, I blogged the whole thing live on Urban Honking: Blogging the Sh*t out of PDX Pop Now! 2007. Here are my posts from a few of my favorite sets:
