Butterfly Boucher at the Doug Fir
I made it to PDX (more on that adventure later) - was able to head out to the legendary Doug Fir last night to catch Butterfly Boucher. Set list first:

So the Doug Fir. A great venue that really fits the NW vibe. The space is downstairs - the bar/lounge area is very rustic - the walls are like a log cabin. The sound was great so it was a very enjoyable show. Once again, Butterfly played acoustic with just her electronic band. Got a shorter version of the set I saw in San Diego, but no complaints as Butterfly was her gracious and hilarious self. She really conveys the emotion of her songs live - whether they are slower more personal songs ("Scary Fragile") or the more rocking material ("Another White Dash"). Good times - very glad I got a bonus show in on this short tour. After her set, a good crowd of people stood in line to talk to her and buy cds. It’s great to see artists really take the time to talk to their fans - makes you really want to support them.
Okay - that’s all I can muster to write at this point. Off to more adventures in the Pac NW.
