Portland SkylineFrom Leigh:

So much going on this week at the end of it I will surely be a Hot Mess.

Magazine parties, dance parties, tribute nights, art openings, free beer and benefit events. Concerts, cocktails, dj's and annual gatherings. Bike rides, film festivals, costume parties and pranks … all this weekend.

I love it. See you all out and about.
