Summer in Eugene is no different, although sometimes the best con certs are a couple of hours away. The season began, meteorological ly speaking, on Friday, and interest ing performances can be found throughout the next few weeks. Wannabe hippies, original Dead heads and fans of bluegrass are tru ly in their element during the sum mer. Endless outdoor concerts and festivals offer the highest level of intoxicating sights and sounds. Be ginning Friday, The Northwest String Summit brings some of the best bluegrass musicians together for a three-day festival at Homing’s Hideout, a hidden-canyon vacation spot 35 minutes west of Portland. The festival features the Yonder Mountain String Band, the David Grisman Quintet, and Northwest favorites Hanuman, full information is available at http://www. segueproductions.com / stringsummit/index.html. Etouffee (which means “smoth ered,” as in “crawfish smothered in cream sauce”) brings the sounds of the swamp home to the Wild Duck Music Hall on Sunday. Kelly Thi bodeaux, fiddler extraordinaire from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, heads up this Southern rock and R&B band. They call it “Cajun Swamp Rock,” and it drives audi ences wild. Fans age 21 and older will pay $8 and be at 169 W. Sixth Ave. when the doors open at 9 p.m. The ’80s are still hot — no, really — and the B-52’s aim to prove it with a concert July 7 at Britt Festi vals. Britt is a stunning natural am phitheater in Southern Oregon, five miles west of Medford.

Full information is at www.brittfest.org. It’s not a habit, it’s cool, I feel alive — I’m not an addict, but I do like one-hit wonders on the re bound, and K’s Choice will be try ing to resurrect the addiction to their music with a stop at Dante’s in Portland at 9 p.m., July 10. Proving the band is on the downside, tick ets are only $8, available from Fastixx. For more information call (503) 226-6630.

Kleckner Enjoy the outdoors With the onslaught of summer beating down on rain-weary heads, many students staying in Eugene for the next 21 weeks may be dread ing the upcoming dog days. An often heard, often said phrase is, “There’s nothing to do. in Eu gene.” There may be nothing for lazy people to do in Eugene, but here’s a challenge: Get up off of the couch and look around. With so many outdoor activities, there is no excuse for boredom in Eugene, es pecially during the summer. Mountain Bike Magazine has ranked the Eugene area in the top 10 for its diverse and challenging trails, but if a nice stroll is all that’s desired, many of the trails are catered to all levels of difficulty. According to standard bike-i quette, there are some beautiful trails that are generally not used during the winter months in order to preserve their rideability during the spring and summer. Since there haven’t been any floods so far, now is the prime time to get out and ride or hike the naturally majestic trails. One very popular but not too dif ficult path in the Eugene-Spring field area is the McKenzie River Trail. It is a beautiful trail that winds through trees and snuggles up next to a river. This is not a path to race through: A rider or hiker should really try to enjoy the scenery and serenity of this path. On bike, it is a little more difficult than walking but it is worth it.
