I just got back from seeing a Randy Rainbow live show in Portland (Oregon), ask me anything

1. How fabulous was it?

[0rganism]

3. Definitely among the top 10 fabulous things I have seen

The fabulosity was absolute and unquestionable.


Rococo decor at the Schnitz does not disappoint, it was a suitably fabulous setting.

2. You nailed the Who, What, When, and Where in the title. Expound on the Why, if you would.

[0rganism]

5. The Why? Mr. Rainbow's ascent remains one of the few things of beauty to arise due to Trump's presidency

As RR said of his coverage of F47's presidency, "It was supposed to be a side gig. Now it looks like I'm going to retire off of this guy."
I smiled and laughed for 2 hours straight. That hasn't happened to me in quite a while.

4. Yes, details please. What was your favorite part?

[0rganism]

6. Oh my, so many magical moments...

The medley with Modern Stable Genius was top tier, as it's one of my favorites.

At one point, Mr. Rainbow asks the audience, "Where should I go in Portland on a Friday night?"
A guy right behind me yells back, "My house."
Randy to the band: "Hurry up and finish, I've got a date."

It was all so good. His outfits were *chef's kiss* fantastic and his timing flawless.

7. Did you stick around and buy the book?

I would've, but it's a two hour drive back to the coast and it looked like more than a one-hour line (and I can't stand in one place that long)

[0rganism]

8. Similar situation here -- line was quite long, wife & I needed to get home, so we didn't get the book or the t-shirt

Were you there at the show tonight? If so, greetings fellow traveler!

[MurrayDelph]

9. Yep. Wife and I spent our anniversary with Randy

You weren't by any chance the couple the held the elevator door for me and then compared the elevator to the one at the Liberty Theater in Astoria are you? Because that would be too weird.

[0rganism]

10. A fantastic start to another blissful year, I hope -- Happy Anniversary to both of you!

Indeed, the elevator thing would have broken reality, but it wasn't us. Now I want to check out Liberty Theater though.

11. I think this week they're only running Goonies

It's the 40th anniversary
