No, it wasn't the city-devouring behemoth of the past, but something a lot more modest—though no less raucous. Held in the parking lot of the downtown Dr. Martens store—site of several MFNW kickoff parties over the years—the In the Lot mini-festival brought together a razor-sharp lineup of hip-hop, psych-rock and garage punk from around the country and right in our backyard.

A native Southern Californian, former Arts & Culture Editor Matthew Singer ruined Portland by coming here in 2008. He is an advocate for the canonization of the Fishbone and Oingo Boingo discographies, believes pro-wrestling is a serious art form and roots for the Lakers. Fortunately, he left Portland for Tucson, Arizona, in 2021.
