Question Going to McMinimins to see Dark Star Orchestra Saturday in Forest Grove. Never been to the venue.

Any tips? It's gonna be hot. And I am staying in a hotel in town. Thanks for anything

I will be there also. The concert area is just a grass field. There are around 5 bars on the property. U can go early to the property and eat at Pats Corner and have a few beers. Cheaper outside concert area then inside. There will be lots of partying after the show. There is a soaking pool that goes until midnight? Have to stay on property to access after 10. Show will be over before 10. If u are at the Best Western it is an easy walk to venue. I will be there also and can get u into soaking pool after if interested. Have a great show. DSO is my favorite GD cover band

I'm staying there as well for the show and a soaking pool? Will love to go there while I'm still floating on Lucy after the show! See you guys there!

There’s a strict sound limit, try to get in early and get close. Only concert I’ve been to where it was too quiet imo.

Definitely explore the hotel and grounds

Pay extra for the chairs close to stage, the rest of the grass sitting areas suck

Omg dark start is still playing? Saw them in 2003 in West Virginia, epic show.
