Drunken Rampage is currently in a redesign which means that one of Portland's top drunken weekends is not being email blasted across the PDX interwebbery. Therefore, we asked Dave The Great to send us info on this very special weekend and luckily, he complied.

From Dave the Great of Drunken Rampage:

(SE Shamrockers: Shamrock run is March 15th)

It may LOOK like Zombiewalk is going on Monday morning when the streets of Portland are filled with the walking dead, the half-dead and those who just smell dead. The apocolypse reflects in their soulless eyes as they stagger in to greasy diners, lusting after coffee pots and aspirin. It has nothing to do with Monday, and everything to do with the Weekend of Event Hell!

Participants who do the full course of events must a) violate most of the laws of physics, b) violate the parole of at least half the western seaboard, and d) forget there was supposed to be a letter “c” between here and “b.”

Between the Blair-Rich Project's “Senior Citizen Initiation Party” celebrating the entry to middle age (or something like that. Most guys die in their sixties, so 30-something is the middle, right?) of the Right Honorable Reverend Richard Vail-Mackin merging with Drunken Rampage's “Bathroom Cotillion” on Friday, the annual Drink Like A Fish party, Cacophony's Brides of March, Cacophony's Shamrock Run Rest Stop, the Urban Iditarod and whatever else these masochists put themselves through, surviving this weekend with your sanity and liver intact is a flat-out admission of failure as a human being.

The details:

Pretty full up, honestly. The beauty of this event is that it is Read the rest of this entry »

Leigh just sent out his weekly email of Portland weekend events. It is reproduced below. You can receive the email as well by writing Leigh at twocliche@gmail.com.

There are many listings so we have put events in red that we think will be good, well attended, or should be interesting.

Also, PDX Pipeline is giving away a pair of Bridgetown Comedy Festival tickets tomorrow/Friday.

From Leigh:

Things I am currently jocking …

This sunshine.

Lingerie Fashion Shows. Luckily there is one tonight. The people at illababy.com are hosting Attraction at Aura and are letting people in for free before 9pm if you RSVP. Check their site for more info.

There is a lot going on this week … booze cruises, drunks in shopping carts, art shows, store openings, dj nights and dance parties, house shows, liquidation sales, craft fairs and even a ping pong tournament. I love this city. Did I mention that I also love the sunshine?

See you all out and about, Leigh Feldman

Two highly attractive women with even sexier senses of humor?

You're not dreaming, people – this is real. Eastland Academy is the delicious lovechild of Shelley McLendon (The Liberators, Mortified, Comedy Sportz) and Frayn Masters (Back Fence PDX, Haiku Inferno) –  two improvisiors and sketch comedy enthusiasts.

Starting tomorrow night at 10pm, these ladies will be performing 'Eastland Academy Comes Alive!' – the new show that promises an appearance by a unicorn and will undoubtedly leave you with two new best friends.

I, of course, will be in attendance.

Not only because I love sketch comedy (or because I have a crush on Shelley and an unhealthy obsession with Frayn) but because I am interning for these two ladies – and must attend to avoid a lashing.

During the next two weekends, Eastland Academy will be performing right after The 3rd Floor (one of Portland's sketch comedy staples)! If you've never seen either group – this is the perfect opportunity, and quite the bargain.

See you there, my lovelies! Read the rest of this entry »
