As a certified young 'un, I always wondered how people in my parents' generation went to so many concerts. Especially during their college days, minimum wage jobs and all. Now I know!

When you add in all the costs, travelling internationally brings in a lot more value than a two-day concert.

The west coast north of California wasn't settled by Europeans until the mid-1800's. The only way to get people and supplies in, and product out, was by sea. Populations concentrate around transportation hubs. There are only two seaports on the Washington coast between the Columbia River and the Strait of Juan de Fuca: Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor.

I love how the alternating patterns of light and shadow are captured here. Truly captured the Northwest experience of hiking under partly cloudy skies.

Love it over there so much raw nature.

You're not crazy. It has become ridiculously expensive for everything!

Where are you finding figures on steepest mountains?

Even better, there’s an app called Peakfinder that gives you a POV wireframe version of this from pretty much anywhere. Best five bucks you’ll spend this month

Looks like the view of Baker from Sauk mountain.

I moved here two years ago… I think it is wonderful. My drunk neighbor does not.
Your comment adds up.

It rains even more on the coast. And the geography is pretty rough out there generally speaking, with less open flat land and rockier coastlines. The coastal mountain ranges also don't help with access to the rest of the country.

I was think maybe around Lime Lake, but that didn’t seem quite right.

Completely agree. It cost me $20 to see The Ramones in 1992. I thought that was pretty steep at the time. Saw the Violent Femmes a few years ago at the Showbox. Tix were about $70 each. Someone offered us $500 for the pair.

I wouldn’t ever spend more than $50 bucks on a ticket. What these venues are doing is just price gouging. I wouldn’t give a shit who was playing. Fuck that. I’ll download their shit off the Internet. It’ll sound exactly the same, however I get to sit on my own couch and pay $2 for my beer, not $20.

That is the problem the stadiums never go empty. I guess we are just poor lol. As long as people continue to pay such prices nothing could be done.
