My theory about adults (who should really know better) trying to relive some overly-romanticized period of their youth—whether it be “getting the band back together,” or a game of tackle football—is that it’s totally acceptable, just as long as there is power in numbers.

That will definitely be the case tonight, as a reunited Lifetime makes their first appearance in Portland in about a decade (Anyone know the last time they played here? 1997? Have they ever played here?), if not longer. Time to dust off the old hoodie (should I go with the classic Gorilla Biscuits design, or hold it down for the West Coast with Unbroken) and make a complete ass of myself.

The adults are alright.
