75+ Weekend Events & Parties: Music, Film, Art | May 7-10
May 7, 2009 — PDXPIPELINELeigh 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.
Reminder: Also, we give out free tickets every Thursday to our Portland Facebook Group including to many of the top music and art venues in Portland. Join it if you like free stuff.
From Leigh Feldman:
Things I'm currently jocking…
1) This ridiculous 90's mix from DJ Vice … mediafire.com/?yg1xyuy1g5r. It's heavy on the hip-hop, but for anyone that even went to a middle school/high school dance during this time this mix is 100% banger.
2) Free ish… Tons of free food and drink during First Thursday, Free entry to the Crave party (found below).
3) That boom boom pow… Portland has it. There is SO much good stuff coming up — Zoo Concert Series, Urban Golf, World Naked Bike Ride, Explode La Mode, oh, and the summer. Yeah. I'm stoked. I think everyone is.
Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.
See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
