Steam Powered Giraffe are going to play in Portland! At the Aladdin! I've never been to the Aladdin in all these years.

I can walk to the venue! I have pre-sale tickets and got my first choice of seat. Or, what I hope is my first choice based on the seating chart and venue pictures. I am pretty confident in my seat choice.

I even have an outfit for attending SPG shows. It's a leather corset top that is actually nice to sit in and I have goggles because I am super light sensitive. Best thing about steampunk shows is that wearing blacked out googles isn't odd.

Hopefully, the weekend will create a little steampunk invasion of SE Portland.

My favorite of their new songs:

Watch on YouTube

I get to see that liiiiiive!

YAY!! That's excellent. I've only been to the Aladdin once, I believe, to see Peter Murphy a couple years ago while visiting Portland.

I haven't been there or any of the other small, old venues that I hear are cool. The idea of fanbots lining up on Milwaukie sounds awesome. (But my pre-sale tickets include the sound check so I'll be inside when others are lining up because I am terrible like that.)

The Aladdin is one of my favorite venues in town! I've lived in and around Brooklyn since I moved to Portland a decade ago, and the Aladdin feels as comfortably unpretentious today as it did back then.

Hope you have a great time at the show!

I am excited! Way too excited considering the show is months off :) Brooklyn is a nice area. I am in Richmond right now, but am likely moving in a few months. I am looking at Kenton, Lents or Mississipi, which is a very strange list.

Ha! Yeah, those aren't exactly adjacent, but they are great neighborhoods -- I enjoy visiting all of them.
