From our partners at Jane, a theater company:

Theater on Halloween? Why not…when wearing your costume to the show will get you in for a mere $10.31?? The show starts at 8:00 p.m., so there will still be plenty of time for those pre- and post-funks.

And if $10.31 bones for admission on All Hallows' isn't a good enough deal for ya — or you'd prefer to seek a different kind of culture that night – why not just win a pair of tickets? The show runs through Nov. 8, so there are still a few more days take in this awesome musical production.

To win, comment on this post and tell us about your weirdest Halloween costume ever (and yea, you can cheat; if you haven't had a weird one, what's the weirdest one you've seen?) Winners drawn on Firday at noon.

The Oregonian calls it "Lush," "Delicious" and "Recommended". So, win some tickets and come on out! Read the rest of this entry »

CANTA Y NO LLORES — Sing and Don't Cry

Miracle Theatre Group's original, bilingual celebration of the Day of the Dead

From Oct. 30 through Nov. 15, 2009, Miracle Theatre Group is pleased to present CANTA Y NO LLORES (Sing and Don't Cry), an original, bilingual celebration of the Day of the Dead created by Martín Milagro, directed by Olga Sanchez and sponsored by El Hispanic News.

Every fall, the dead are commemorated in a lively show of dance, music and theatre in Portland's longest-running Day of the Dead celebration. This year, los muertos return singing old-time tunes that harken back to another era when times were tough and tradition was one of the few things folks could call their own. In the middle of the Great Depression, at a camp near where WPA workers are constructing Oregon's Timberline Lodge, five strangers Read the rest of this entry »

Whole Foods is apparently opening up a Hollywood branch next year and giving out free pumpkins Thursday as a promotion. Then you can go out and make your “Spaceman Pumpkinhead” costume like YACHT here.

Related: Portland Halloween Parties, Events, etc here

From Press Release:

WHAT: The new Whole Foods Market store in Portland's Hollywood district will give away 1,000 pumpkins as a way to roll out the welcome mat for neighborhood residents.  The pumpkins will have stickers with the Jan. 12, 2010 opening date, and store leaders will be on-site to answer questions.  Anyone walking or driving by is welcome to take a free pumpkin, as long as supplies last.

WHEN:  Thursday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. — 2 p.m.

WHERE: In front of the Whole Foods Market store at 4301 NE Sandy Blvd.

After you check out the great Last Thursday show at Goodfoot, you can go downstairs and see Marco Benevent trio on the upright piano action. Neil over at Goodfoot sent this info about the show:

Marco will be playing an upright piano for this show (a really beautiful one I've rented for the night), though often times he will be playing it through an array of effects. Last time he played here it was absolutely spectacular. He's a rare musician/composer.

From Press Release:
For an exhilarating glimpse into the future of jazz key-boards, look no further than Marco Beneveto. A melodically inventive musical adventurer who artfully employs pedals, amplifiers, rejiggered electronic toys and sundry effects, Benevento has forged a fascinating repertoire of songs by the likes of Neil Young, Led Zeppelin and Beck, interspersed with wildly original com-positions. His indie rock influenced duo with drummer Joe Russo brought a bracing jolt of improvisation into settings like Lollapalooza, SXSW and Bonnaroo, while on his own Benevento has collaborated with funk- and rock-steeped players such as Charlie Hunter, Stanton Moore and Phish's Trey Anastasio.

His latest album ME NOT ME is a gorgeously textured session featuring bassist Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green) and drummers Matt chamberlain (Bill Frisell, Garbage) and Andrew Barr (The Slip).
