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:

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. (these are from Leigh, not Pipeline)

Free music ish… This LIVE radio mix from DJ Fresh One from San Diego. http://bit.ly/96eK5H It seems a lot of dj's make mixes stuck to one genre nowadays, but this mix runs the gamut from funk to soul to club to freetsyle electro to 80's to pop to southern rap, all seamlessly and all while staying fun. It's pretty incredible, and lucky for you, you can see Fresh One at Massive this Saturday night!

Awesome Ish… PDX Pipeline is giving away tickets too! Win Portland Giveaways from Pipeline: Karnaval, NW Film Center, Saturday Market, Helium Comedy Club & More here.

More Awesome ish… MASSIVE is this weekend! What is certainly Portland's craziest event takes place Saturday August 28th at the Crown Room and this one will certainly be ridiculous. Fashion show by Candy Jones, DJ Fresh One from SD, the beer wheel and giveaways and and and and and .. and there is a lot. Prepare yourself. FREE before 10:30!

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