A few weeks back, I was able to talk Shanrocks into having a trivia night on the city of Portland. Well, tonight is that night. Some Pipeliners will be there tonight if you'd like to show how much more you know about PDX than us. One of the rounds will be pictures around Portland and you have to name where, such as in this picture right here.

Message from Shanrocks (website):
Some questions will be on the easier side, and some will be challenging! That material will be half pop culture and half book learnin' – local geography, music, history, literature, night life, science, TV & film (both filmed here and set here) are all fair game.

Maximum team size is five, and the champion team wins a cheap trophy and a $25 gift certificate to East Burn.

Portland Mayor Sam Adams
Commissioner Randy Leonard
Made in Oregon Sign
Taken on November 20, 2009

Mayor Adams and Randy Leonard lit up Rudolph last night, so I guess the holidays are officially here. I haven't continued to pay attention to the “Made In Oregon” sign debate, so not sure if this is the last year we will see it in this form.

From MarchFourth Marching Band:
NEW! Studio CD “RISE UP” is out NOW

MarchFourth Marching Band is thrilled to announce the release of the new album, “Rise Up.” The CD took almost three years to produce and it captures the band's best compositions of the last three years. We'd like to thank Audiowells for great feats of musical patience, Andrew Jones for the stunning cover artwork, Andy Batt for the captivating portraits, and the fab duo at Dangerr Creative for putting it all together. To read the complete liner notes and info on all 13 songs, click here.

To celebrate the new release, M4 is hosting two CD release parties on November 19 at the Wonder Ballroom. Join us in celebration! The first show is kid-friendly and ends by 8:30 pm; the later show is 21+ with dancing til midnight (details).

Ignite Portland has made it to number seven and added two extra talks for a total of twenty. That means you'll go through two pitchers of McMenamins beer this time. If you don't yet know what Ignite Portland is, you can check out their site and learn about it. It starts about 6PM and is FREE.

From our partners at Voicebox Karaoke

Tonight is Voicebox's Anniversary Mega Karaoke Clinic voice lesson with Portland's legendary singing coach Mark Bosnian.

The one hour workshop will focus on vocal mechanics, so you can understand just what happens inside your body when you sing. Armed with Mark's insight and tips, you'll immediately start to sing with more confidence and presence.

After the workshop, Mark will stick around for 1-on-1 individualized coaching so you can get specific tips on your challenges. Feeling shy? Can't hit that high note? Mark can put you on the path toward singing success.

The workshop is FREE with your $10 flat admission and starts at 8 PM. Admission covers use of Voicebox ALL NIGHT, so come early and plan to stick around.

Guests under 21 are welcome for the lesson, but per OLCC restrictions, must leave by 9:15 PM.

From our partners at Icon Tattoo
Are you permanently in love with Oregon's forests? Prove it to the world by getting a tattoo to benefit BARK! BARK is an amazing nonprofit that fights to protect Mt. Hood National Forest from logging and exploitation. For one day only, Icon Tattoo teams up with BARK for a most unique fundraiser.

On Sunday, November 22, all eight of Icon's tattoo artists will spend the day doing small, pre-drawn forest-themed tattoos for set prices and donate 100% of the cost of tattoos to BARK.

Have your choice of beautiful ferns, mushrooms, squirrels, birds, trees, and other delightful native flora and fauna, AND do your good deed for the week! For $25, get the very distinctive outline of Mt. Hood and a BARK membership! Other tattoo designs will range in price from $40-$70. For a few extra dollars, the newly tattooed can have their picture taken by a BARK volunteer as a keepsake, and for the very enthusiastic, or the interested-but-hesitant, a silent auction will have tattoo gift certificates available for the bidding.

You'll never feel better about getting tattooed!
