A day with the Dandies

The Dandy Warhols got an idea to celebrate the 13th anniversary of their breakout 2000 album, Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia, by performing their songs in various locales around Portland.

All the chosen locations were important to them, or had some meaningful part in the band's history.

Zia McCabe asked us to tag along -- so we did! While the Dandies and their closest fans moved from one location to another, Miri became a photo-journalist with rock sensibilities. We don't think we ever felt cooler than that day.
