One Day Until PDX Pop Now! 2008
02:02AM on Thursday July 24, 2008
One day and it’s showtime! Needless to say, smiles are getting wider at PPN! headquarters, and our pulses are quickening…
A few notes:
1) If you are interested in volunteering for the festival and haven’t been in touch yet, come out to the last volunteer orientation meeting:
Thursday, July 24
5pm
Backspace (115 NW 5th Ave.)
Email volunteer@pdxpopnow.com with any questions
2) Looks like we’re not the only ones psyched about this year’s festival lineup. Check out some of the recent press encouragement:
3) Thanks to our radio partners at KPSU and PRA , every moment of music at the festival will be broadcast as a stream, and downloadable as a podcast (if all goes according to plan). That way, if ,for some ridiculous reason like having to work, you have to leave the festival, you won’t have to miss it completely. The links for those features are:

See you on Friday at Rotture (315 SE 3rd) at 6pm!
Come Volunteer at the Festival
02:02AM on Monday July 21, 2008
So excited about local music and the PDX Pop Now! 2008 festival that you can’t sit still? Put that energy to good use by volunteering at the festival!
We will be holding several volunteer meetings this week in the run-up to the festival, and we would love to see you there. We need help during the big weekend with all sorts of things, from band guiding, to stage managing, to greeting, to moving gear- no experience or skills of any kind necessary (though let us know if you’ve got some!).
The volunteer meetings will take place as follows:
Backspace (115 NW 5th Ave.)
Monday, July 21st, at 5 p.m
Wednesday, July 23rd, at 6 p.m
Thursday, July 24th, at 5 p.m.
Send an email to volunteer@pdxpopnow.com with any questions.
Hope to see you there!
And I hope you are as excited about the fest as we are.
