Well, shit. As if And And And didn’t have enough on their plates from last year, the chainmaille slingin’, bemohawked drummer Bim Ditson has rigged up the Van Van Van with a hoop of gloriously ghetto proportions. Welcome to Rigsketball 2011, Portland. 32 bands over the next four weeks playing street ball like you’ve probably literally never seen it. It will drive you crazy. It could actually drive you somewhere – the hoop is on the back of And And And’s van. The games started Monday and are already forming some furious feuds and joyous moments. Catch a game, come hang out, place your bets, drink some beer. Welcome to summer, Portland. Finally. – Mike Harper
