Wanna win any of them?

Free music ish… This mix from DJ Tyler Tastemaker. It's a little something for everyone and it's a perfect sneak peak of what you can expect at the EmrgNSee festival next weekend! http://emrgnsee.com/podcast

Awesome Ish… This weekend is second Saturday, which means it's open bar time for all you LifeisaParty folk and your friends! Saturday July 10th is a special one; as DJ Spinderella from Salt N Pepa fame will be returning to PDX at the Crown Room to get busy, along with special guests Mello Cee and Mr. Marcus Will. And of course, the first hour is free drinks on us!! Come one, come all and come early!

More Awesome ish… Live After Five debuts this weekend! It's an amazing choreographed dance performance at the Imago Theater that shows the 9-5 workday grind through the eyes of a dancer. They just opened up tickets to more of their shows. Definitely recommend checking it out!  bit.ly/LiveAfterFiveRSVP

See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
