Upon arriving, I was impressed with the venue’s location. Zidell Yards is central Portland’s largest undeveloped site. The area is surrounded by the Oregon Health & Science University building, high-rise apartments, and the Tillicum Crossing bridge. Tucked into the creases of these large structures, the event omitted sounds that could be heard across the Willamette River. Meeting up with my friend, A.J., we walked through the security gate that was draped with a large picture of an open beer can. The opening of the can acted as the entrance to the event. The transcendental experience could best be described by A.J., who said, “It’s like the concert is drinking us.” I only hoped whatever musical bile lay on the other side would consume my eardrums with pleasing melodies and chords.
