If you're looking for an excuse to make a trip to Portland and/or don't have the necessary buckage for Capitol Hill Block Party, PDX Pop Now! 2009 will be taking place down here the same weekend (July 24-26).

As always, this festival of Portland music will be free, all-ages, and feature nearly 50 bands culled from a wide variety of genres. I'm biased, sure, but PDX Pop Now! is always my favorite time in Portland all year.

We'll be announcing the (spectacularly good) line-up in the next week or so.
