It’s one of my favorite PDX activities – yet sadly, I’m not there this year. I’ve not even dipped one teeny tiny toe into the KBOO streaming audio feed, either – although I’m going to remedy that oversight any minute now…

Why am I not there? Well, it fell on one of the weekends I have my kids – and despite my pleas and entreaties, they both vehemently rejected the notion in favor of making money at their own lemonade stand today (yes, those were my kids flagging down cars on NE 21st this afternoon.)

Please tell me I’m not going to be kicking myself for the rest of the summer, will you? Or you can just gloat about how the perfect weather, monster lineup and the ability to support a good cause made it one of the best ever, if you want. I can take it…

..especially since the kids are cutting me on on a share of their profits…
