Y ou h e a r it so m etim es:
Portland’s music scene has known
better days the town is “dead”;
things just aren’t as cool as they
were in the heyday o f the early
‘90s.
Hogwash. Portland’s music is
more diverse, adventurous and
capable of more good than ever.
And we have the proof.
The first-ever Music North
west will take over Portland
clubs for three raucous nights,
Sept. 20-22. The festival will
feature more than 130 bands
from Portland, the Northwest
and around the country, em
bracing rock, punk, hip-hop,
folk, alt-country, blues, jazz, ex
perimental and electronic.
M usicfest N orthw est w rist
bands are now on sale at Music
Millennium and Fastixx locations.

G oing back to school
has never been this much fun . . .
Currently in Japan and airing on TV Tokyo, Yu-Gi-
Oh! is a top-rated animated television series. It airs
in the United States through Kids’ WB on Saturday
mornings.
Yu-Gi-Oh!, based on the comic book series, follows
the adventures o f Yugi, a smaller than average high school student - and
an easy target for bullies. When his grandfather, a local game shop
manager, gives him an ancient Egyptian riddle called the “Millennium
Puzzle,” and Yugi pieces it together, he unexpectedly becomes the
powerful “Game King,” an alter ego. When Yugi gets into sticky
situations, the “Game King” takes over and protects Yugi and his friends.
The game is o n .. .as Yugi plays games to defeat his monster rivals.
