For the time challenged: Noon tomorrow as in the next noon that occurs.

And by for the weekend I mean I will be in Seattle the whole rest of the weekend until I go back to the airport Sunday afternoon. We are coming back Friday night after the show. We did not buy the whole 3 day weekend

Have fun at the Gorge! Last weekend was apparently an absolute nightmare for people trying to get into the venue. Get there early, pack your patience and drive safely and carefully back over the pass.

Busy weekend for me. Mariners Friday and Sunday, and Saturday my wife and I are heading up to Skagit to pick up bread flour and play a card game at Chuckanut Brewing while the kid is at her yearly choir trip to Wild Waves. Yes yes I know, we are very exciting.

Maaaybe? The only other things on my agenda are eat fish and maybe go to Canada for food court poutine. Almost close enough to see JulianB but not quite.

If you’re going to Canada, go to Richmond for food court Xiao long bao and grilled pork buns at R&H Chinese Food at Landsdowne. They’re amazing.

Better flour starts here. We work directly with farmers across Washington and Oregon to grow and select varietals chosen for flavor, baking performance, and disease resistance. Rebuilding local food systems is the best way to make communities healthier, more prosperous, and resilient.

Awesome flour mill up in Skagit. They do Saturday pickups by reservation and we go up once or twice a year to buy in bulk. Way cheaper than getting the little bags and we do a lot of baking. We turn it into a day trip to Bow Edison for lunch and it’s a block from Chuckanut Brewing.

Double vouch. All I use for my pies.

Will be around. Meeting a friend at bizarre brewing. There is good fish to be had at the fisherman’s terminal nearby. Also somewhat close to holy mountain interbay.

After backlash, the Gorge to make entrance changes for Brandi Carlile shows


The Gorge Amphitheatre is making several changes heading into Brandi Carlile’s three-night Echoes Through the Canyon shows this weekend after music fans were fuming over lengthy wait times for a previous concert.

Electronic dance music lovers who flocked to the remote Central Washington venue for a sold-out, two-day Griztronicsevent headlined by Griz and Subtronics last weekend reported being stuck in security screening lines for upwards of 11 hours as they attempted to enter the campgrounds and venue.

“The Gorge is committed to providing an excellent camping experience and we take safety and security seriously,” the Live Nation-controlled venue wrote in a statement posted on social media. “Given unusually high early arrivals it took too long for campers to enter, and we understand the frustration it caused.”

The venue pledged to automatically refund camping fees and make changes for Carlile’s Echoes Through the Canyon shows. Among them: opening the campgrounds and venue to fans earlier and adding more screening lines.

While hourslong traffic backups approaching the Grant County venue have been a sporadic issue for decades, campground security — and subsequently longer wait times — have been a heightened issue at the Gorge since a fatal shooting at the Beyond Wonderland festival in 2023. Last week, Live Nation and the families of the two people killed reached a settlement before a trial was set to begin June 1. A separate lawsuit brought by a surviving victim is ongoing.

Large crowds are expected this weekend as Carlile makes her return to the Gorge after a two-year break, with Saturday’s show selling out well in advance.

In a Wednesday social media post, the Gorge warned of potential four-hour delays crossing the Vantage Bridge on eastbound I-90, though fans attending the Griztronics event reported that last weekend’s debacle had nothing to do with bridge construction. All four lanes over the Vantage Bridge will remain open through Monday, June 1, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Be ready for waits and pack that patience.

noted. We are just up for the one show and not camping but could be behind others who are with it being the first day. They sent a text around when I was landing but was going to go through it when I get to my friend’s place. Rolling past the stadiums now.
