Finally . . . a proposal to move towards a more sensible way for all ages to attend music events around Portland. The OLCC is currently taking comments on it's proposed rule changes that will allow liquor-serving music venues to admit people who are under 21. I would encourage you (of any age) to write in support of these rule changes - it's good for venues, good for musicians, and particularly good for our minors (my youngest included) who find themselves continually frustrated at not being able participate in the wonderful music scene here in Portland. Almost all other states have had this figured out for a while -- mostly by the use of wristbands and monitoring. It's time to make sense here in Oregon too . . .
Check out the rules changes (there's a nice summary on the PDX Pop Now! site) and support the OLCC's rule changes. There's a public hearing on Oct 30, and public comments will be accepted until Tuesday, Nov. 13. You can submit your comments via email to jennifer.huntsman@state.or.us. The PDX Pop Now! site even has a template email you can use.
