This week I mostly kept listening to music from Pickathon. Frazey Ford and Marisa Anderson were on heavy rotation. Then my husband randomly put on Gruntruck in the living room, and I liked that too.

Early Thursday Entry at Pickathon
I’ve been hearing about Pickathon for a while now. This summer was the 20th iteration of the festival in the woods outside of Portland. Over the years the festival has grown into an eclectic lineup that includes rap, punk, electronic and indie draped over its bluegrass spine. This year the festival ran from Friday, August 3 to Sunday, August 5. This was my first Pickathon, and as I always do, I went all in on the festival experience. That includes showing up for Early Thursday Entry. It was a good thing I did.
