Portland's 27th Reel Music Film Festival | January 8 – February 7

Posted by Kimberly Gehl

This weekend the NW Film Center kicks off the 27th edition of its annual Reel Music Film Festival, an exquisite month-long showcase of some of the greatest “musical” films in existence.

Muddy Waters Is Open 24 Hours Until Monday + Weekend Party | January 8-10

I live in the Sunnyside neighborhood that includes Muddy Waters and read this blog post in the Portland Mercury about their possibly closing next week. I Muddy Waters fundraiser, portland, oregonstopped by early in the morning  and I saw they are having a big party this weekend (click picture for large size on Flickr). It looks good and you might want to check out the ending (or hopefully a new beginning) of Muddy Waters.

One of my favorite things at MW is the $1 coffee if you bring your own container. That's quite a deal and let's keep it alive.

Oh and…”Date a barista auction”… I suggest bidding on Aloe as she made me a quite fine hot chocolate and is also apparently a beautician according to a flyer by the door.
