Last night we went to McMenamins in Edgefield for 311 featuring special guest Matisyahu. First off, 311 is my FAVORITE band! And they rocked. Matisyahu was OK, more background noise than anything, but he sounded good.
The real cool thing was the venue itself. Unlike in MN at the Xcel or Target center, this was a McMenamins, which is like all over Oregon, Portland especially. But it was outside, and McMenamins has food, beer, wine and all that. Just a really nice venue, places to sit and eat, etc. And then after the show, you can just go to one of the many bars/restaurants they have on their “campus” and chill, very cool.
Have some pictures up here:

you can’t rag on MN for not having out door venues when in fact they do. There are a lot of out doors concerts, as a matter of fact I do believe I saw 311 at a outdoor concert…. now granted if you wanted to get nit picky on where I saw them I’d have to say it was at float rite park which is technically in Wisconsin, but its just a hope skip and jump across the boarder. There are though many other out door stages that are setup in MN however I do feel they are way under used…..
