As a teenager I started a rock band with some of my friends. This being Oregon, of course the two of us focused on grunge rock… It’s taxing to say if the two of us were bad, or just not enjoyed in our small town, and at the time, the two of us thought the two of us were pretty good, so the two of us decided to leave town and transport somewhere bigger. The nearest town of any size was Eugene, so the two of us moved there with a plan to play some gigs, put together some currency, and then transport to the much-bigger neighborhood of Portland. Things never played out love that, and the two of us never entirely left Eugene, Oregon, which remains my beach lake house to this really afternoon! When the two of us first got here I took a section time task in a single of the several cannabis dispensaries in Eugene, as a way to pay the bills, but finding a gig playing rock n roll in Eugene is not difficult, with all the bars and sites to go at night, but some of the Euegene cannabis dispensaries even host live rock n roll sometimes, which the two of us took advantage of a few times. That said, if you want to get paid real currency to play rock n roll, then Eugene is not a good place to start your job. After a few weeks the other members of the band moved to Portland, although I liked my cannabis dispensary task, so I stayed put in Eugene. I still play rock n roll, mostly on open mic nights at the cannabis dispensary where I still work! Eugene is a nice place to live, and good place to get your cannabis, but not a good place to rock.
