The 'M' Stands for AwesoMe!
So as previously mentioned I saw M Ward in Manchester a few weeks before I came out here, and then I saw him again in Portland last night! He was in the Aladdin Theater (note US spelling) but got moved to the much larger Crystal Ballroom due to high demand. Well done M, much bigger audience than the cosy Manchester pub I saw him in last. So he was very good and the atmos was filled with excitement because it was the final date of the tour and a homecoming gig. All the coolest musicians come from Portland. Went with Britta, Aya and Amanda, and we went to an actual bar beforehand. What a relief.
Sorry for this if you've never heard of M.Ward by the way. (He's rubbish.) The Crystal Ballroom was an interesting space, with the chandeliers and the murals on the walls. Oh, and they had a big barrier down the centre of the room, with under 21's on one side and everyone else on the other side next to the bar. Apparently in smaller venues they just have a bunch of 'Caution' tape strung around the bar to discourage young uns. Hee hee...

Come on, you know it was more fun watching him play to about eighty people, and sitting on the floor for the entire gig. Even though the beer was overpriced.
Overpriced and flat!
No, it was really great last time, and I certainly had a better view. This time had a great mood to it though, and i really loved the Crystal Ballroom.
