Hmm, Portland, bounty of riches... for which of these do I risk covid, flu, dysentery, bird flu, and measles? Kraftwerk, Nick Cave, Taylor Tomlinson, Crystal Method, or God Speed You Black Emperor?

Having lived in Oregon City in 1978-80, I second that. BTW, do they still hand out Municipal Elevator admission cards? (Admission being free, this is very Oregonian humor.)
I visited Oregon City once, in the summer of 2019, and I don't recall getting an admission card. A very nice high school girl operated the elevator for us. Obviously this relic of a different time has stuck in my brain.
Prior to seeing this posit I listened to "Trip Like I Do"for the first time in years. Let my Beautiful Mind tack-and-yarn wall be yours. Accept the signs.
Last time I saw Godspeed You! Black Emperor (2022?) 90%+ of the audience was masked. Great show, fantastic. Also one where the audience demographic likely reasonable about mitigating risks (but my experience is from Victoria, Canada).
Nick Cave, then God Speed You, then Kraftwerk. (And I don't put Nick Cave in first place just because we're both Australian either. His shows are mesmerising.) Also also, if ever Eivor is in the neighborhood doing a show, go see her for a musical experience out of this world.

Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks.
By which I of course mean go to Oregon City and ride the Municipal Elevator there one (1) story.
Nick Cave is probably how one gets those diseases...
