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… Fool's Gold Recording Artist DJ Sammy Bananas is fresh off the Chromeo tour and is back in PDX to make people go crazy. Check out his mix ‘A Night at the Player's Club' http://bit.ly/cX7cCg and come see him Friday night at Hot Mess at Tube for FREE!
Awesome ish… Next Saturday LifeisaParty turns 2! Well, technically we turned 2 at the end of August, but we are celebrating next Saturday with Philly's Phunkestra, Doc Adam and super special guest Mr. Lif! And of course, the first hour of drinks on us! Doors at 9:30 next Saturday the 11th at Crown Room!
Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.
See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
