Most people think of the Olympic Peninsula as an "outdoorsy" kind of place when it comes to leisure activities and looking for fun, and for the most part, a person finds a very good value when it comes to paying for such activities like hiking, swimming, exploring mountains and beaches. Except when April looks and feels like December without the holiday glitter and warmth. This is the situation we find ourselves in this "spring" as gasoline prices climb ever higher along with the prices of most everything else. Even the wind is blowing hard this week. And, rain or possibly snow is expected throughout the weekend.
Perhaps therein lies the reason for the larger crowds of late at the Junction and the Soho Asian Bistro. Maybe it's that and the combination of good music and opportunities for local musicians to perform in a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere despite the weather outside. There's no cover charge at either place on Sundays or weekdays and the price of beer isn't rising with each passing day or week. When you find yourself singing along to a Beatles or Yardbirds song you're unlikely to worry about mortgage payments, the cost of milk and other groceries, or plane fare to Disneyland. You can forget about it for awhile. Sometimes there are sights for sore eyes on and off stage, and that's an added bonus for dancers, singers-along, and musicians. In other words, it's a good bang for your buck at the Junction in Port Angeles and other local music venues.
