Leigh sent out his weekly email of Portland weekend events earlier today. It is mostly reproduced below with some additions by Pipeline. You can get the email and your chance to win hookups for shows and deals by emailing leighfeldman3 @ gmail and asking to join

There are many listings so we have put events in red (blue = linked!) that we think will be good, well attended, or should be interesting.

Reminder: We give out free tickets to our Portland Facebook Group including to many of the top music and art venues in Portland. Join it if you like free stuff. Not on Facebook? Join our email list and win there.

From Leigh Feldman:
Things I'm currently jocking…

Free ish… We have tix here and will be giving away some on twitter (add @leighfeldman3) to Black Milk (tonight), SMMR BMMR Festival (fri), Pete Rock (tues), Digable Planets w/ Rafael Vigilantics (wed) and Alejandro Escovedo (wed)! Wanna win any of them? Forward this email to a friend, have them write us asking to join the group and we'll enter you both in a drawing to win — or you can find us on facebook at facebook.com/LifeisaPartyFB to get tickets, music and info on weekly events.

Free music ish… DJ Mighty Moves ‘Hypercolor Powerglove Mix.' It's a mix of 80's dance jams and if you dig it, you can head to his NEW mixtape release party that is happening tonight at Bar XV. http://www.mediafire.com/?34dicjie65wuw6f

Awesome ish… Next Tuesday Portland welcomes hip hop legend Pete Rock for a return performance! If you missed him last time all I can say is that it was pretty epic. Based on the set up for this event I imagine it will be much of the same. Catch Pete Rock next Tuesday night at Grand Café. $5 before 10pm, $10 after!

Even more awesome awesome ish… This weekend is the Second Saturday of the month, which means it is open bar party time! For members of LifeisaParty, be prepared for an awesome night of music (Inspired Flight — the side project of band members that perform live with members of Wu-Tang Clan and Living Legends + DJ Doc Adam) and FREE drinks on us for the first hour! Doors at 9:30pm and only $5 for a great show and an hour of free drinks!

Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.
See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
