Finally, a post on this blog that involves the word “police,” yet does not contain the following terms:

- “Independent Police Review”
- ” Fried By Cop”
- “pseudo police action”
- ” Rent-A-Cop”

Instead, it’s about The Police, as in the greedy great reunited pop act that is finally coming to Portland!

Well, technically, it’s Ridgefield, WA, at the Amphitheater at Clark County on July 11th, but that is close enough. And not only will you get a few hours of Police hits—and tantric sex tips from Sting—but the opening act will be Elvis Costello and the Imposters.

Damn.

No word on when tickets go on sale, but it’s safe to assume they will not be cheap. Anytime a tour is sponsored by a credit card company (from the press release, “Presented by Citi®”), you know it’s going to cost you.
