How To Ring In The New Year

photo cred | Mid By Northwest

Every time New Year’s Eve rolls around, I am a mess trying to come up with plans. In the past couple of years, I have ended up sick or running around aimlessly in Capitol Hill, but this year I will hopefully be celebrating in another city! And of course, the year I end up leaving – something BIG happens. One of my favorite local bands, Pickwick, will be ringing in the new year with a set at the Showbox Sodo and to be honest, if I weren’t leaving, this would be my plan.

Along with Pickwick, Portland’s own Radiation City and former Sound Off! winners Tomten will be joining the stage. And if that’s not enough fun for you – there will also be a pre-order package for sale that includes two drink tickets, party favors, and a signed poster by the band. For $50? Worth it.
