Will it rain on parade? Who cares!


Byline: BUZZWORTHY by The Register-Guard

Uh oh. One look at The Register-Guard's weather forecast earlier this week has some news we don't want to hear. Or rather symbols we don't want to see - umbrellas and streaks of rain.

Now the Weather Channel's Web page, www.weather.com, paints a brighter picture, sort of. A few showers today with a 30 percent chance of precipitation precipitation, in chemistry
precipitation, in chemistry, a process in which a solid is separated from a suspension, sol, or solution. In a suspension such as sand in water the solid spontaneously precipitates (settles out) on standing.
. It'll be mostly cloudy on Saturday, with a 20 percent chance of rain. The Sunday forecast calls for showers, with a 50 percent chance of precip.

So what's so fascinating about the weekend weather forecast? Last year's Eugene Celebration The Eugene Celebration is an annual community celebration and civic event held in downtown Eugene, Oregon, United States. Featuring bands and performers from throughout the Pacific Northwest, the three-day festival is held in early September and attracts more than 40,000 attendees  got hammered by rain. Will this year be a repeat?

As we write this, it's still hard to know. Weather forecasts change as fast as, well, the weather in Western Oregon This article is about the region of Western Oregon. For the University, see Western Oregon University.
Western Oregon is a geographical term that is generally taken to apply to the portion of the state of Oregon that is west of the Cascade Range.
.

So if you are dying to head to the celebration but are afraid of the raindrops, keep this in mind. The Eugene Celebration is not Autzen Stadium The stadium is tucked between the Willamette River and Coburg Hills. The uniquely shaped bowl blends in with the wooded Eugene landscape. The shape also allows for unique acoustics, making it one of the loudest stadiums in NCAA Football for its capacity.  - celebration organizers will most gladly let you in with an umbrella.

Surprisingly, however, all the great music in Eugene isn't being hogged hog

 by the celebration. Singer-songwriter - and Sam Bond's music booker - Peter Wilde will wander in from semi-retirement and onto the WOW Hall stage, opening for Todd Snider Todd Daniel Snider is a singer-songwriter born October 11, 1966 in Portland, Oregon.[1][2]

Best known for his wry humor, Snider has been a fixture on the Americana, alt-country, and folk scene since his debut on MCA, entitled
 on Wednesday.

Two hot, up-and-coming bands, the National and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, will team up for a show at the WOW Hall on Tuesday. If all of the very nice things written about the band are only half true, this could be a memorable show.

Inara George, who comes from a musical family (she's a daughter of Little Feat's Lowell George), will play an early show Sunday at John Henry's. She's also had some very nice things written about her.

So come rain or shine, the week will be loaded with entertainment options.

Lap it up!
