If you are in Portland, Oregon and need to be tested for HCV

[scratchinghead]

The Waterfront Blues Festival this weekend (tomorrow is the last day) has a booth that is giving free HCV blood tests. So if you know someone that might need one, head on down. It's $10 and 2 cans of food to get in.

Kind of a long shot, but what the hey.
Besides that, you can do the Swing Dancing on the AE stage.

I wonder if MerryBe had anything to do with this? See is big on politics around Portland and Oregon.

Lauri, the link was for a swing band that is playing down there, but it has a google map and the sponsor's webiste associated with it.

Heading out to go down there. Don't need no stinking test! I already know I have the vermin in me! hahahaha

Hi Lauri !

Try this one:

Very interesting!  Never heard of this either... Wonder how many people might get diagnosed at the festival?  That would be curious information!  I'll try to sleuth around online next week and see if I can find any details...  Will post anything I come across...

Have a good Sunday!

*&%$#! I can never pull up a link from here? I copy/pasted and won't pull it up.

That's interesting and a 'first' I've ever heard of! Now that's some 'awareness'. Wonder how that all came about? (or I could go to the link and read it first?:)
