One of the best music festivals on this side of the world, Electric Forest, returned in 2023 with its characteristic top-notch lineup of EDM and jam bands. Only problem was, after so much traveling packed into the last six weeks, I just wasn't in the mood for it.

Portland, Oregon is a city I used to hear a lot about. There was a period of a few years, the mid-to-late 2010s, when you may remember Portland was having a real moment. This was during the same era when a certain type of people called "hipsters" were also having a moment, and Portland, from what I heard, was a haven for them, much like Brooklyn. There was also a TV show I never actually watched called "Portlandia." Someone where I worked in San Antonio, who I didn't particularly like, was always spending his vacations in Portland back then. I really got the impression that this was the place to be, and it was only last year that I finally consciously noticed that I just don't hear people talking about Portland like they used to.

If you often go to the same kinds of music festivals I've been going to and writing about, you've probably heard about 2023's Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge. I'd wanted to go to this festival for a couple years, and I certainly never expected it to be cut short by a deadly mass shooting.

Over Memorial Day weekend of 2023, I got to visit a historic city I've wanted to experience for years: New Orleans. There's quite a lot to see in this city and while I didn't do any kind of deep dive, I did get a good look at various sights in the French Quarter, the WWII Museum, and Magazine Street. That, and, a timeshare presentation.
