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 win tickets to the EXIT Real World Video Party (fri), Illa J & Frank Nitt (fri), Tease Time Zombie Cabaret (fri), Grieves, Budo and Blue Scholars (sat) and a Sunday pass to the PDX Tattoo Expo (sun)! 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… Wow. This is an exclusive. Frank Nitt from Frank-N-Dank is letting LifeisaParty be the first to release his S.T.F.U. mixtape. This mix will be part of a bonus CD for his next album — but you get to hear it here first. Plus you can also see him Friday (more info below) sendspace.com/file/qz5uqp

Awesome ish… Are you a fan of Detroit hip hop? This Friday J Dilla's brother Illa J and Frank Nitt from Frank-N-Dank will be in town giving people a taste of that good music. Grab the mixtape above then come to Crown Room on Friday night (FREE before 10:30 if you say LifeisaParty) and check them out along with TxE, Dave Notti and Dante La Salle. Definitely a night of good music!

More Awesome ish… Halloween is approaching, which means it's the end of the month, which means it's time for MASSIVE. Saturday night Oct. 30th is definitely going to be crazy and I have just one word for you: CourtsideTicketstotheBlazers. Ok, that was more than one word, but we are giving away COURTSIDE TICKETS TO THE BLAZERS to the best costume. And this year I'm judging to ensure that people that actually make a costume, opposed to just covering themselves in blue paint, win the prizes. See you on the 30th!

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

Portland Cocktail Week
October 20-24
portlandcocktailweek.com

Each fall, distillers, bartenders, spirits enthusiasts, and media officials descend on Portland, Oregon for the Great American Distiller’s Festival. With a desire to put our own creative cocktail knowledge to work, a few years ago, we began a small, but serious competition called the PDX Cocktail Invitational.

From one bartender competition, we have grown to include four days of seminars, parties, spirit tastings, networking opportunities, and – of course – more bartender competitions. It is our aim to highlight the best in distillation, engaging bartending and inventive mixology, all wrapped up in the beauty and hospitality of the Pacific Northwest. We bring you the first annual “Portland Cocktail Week.”

President Obama Portland Visit: Trimet / Traffic Problems

Just in case you were out of the loop–President Obama is in Portland today and his visit will cause you Trimet & Traffic  problems.

Trimet sent out the message below just a bit ago. I think the message is…STAY AWAY from the Portland Rose Quarter if you don't want to get caught in a mess. Have fun.

Might be a good day for Radio Cab

From Trimet:

This afternoon and evening, expect delays on MAX (system-wide) and on buses (in the Rose Quarter/Convention Center area) due to President Obama's visit. MAX will not serve the Convention Center station during the event. For security reasons, we do not have additional details about service impacts at this time.

Grammy-nominated, world-renowned blues man and son of a legend, John Lee Hooker, Jr. will take the stage at Mt. Tabor Theater October 21. Live in Istanbul, Turkey, his new album released in May on his own Steppin' Stone Records, explodes with fiery intensity as Hooker sets the audience on fire at the Efes Pilsen Blues Festival, proving that the blues are indeed an international language understood around the world.

John Lee Hooker Jr. was born in Detroit “Motor” City with Delta blues-filled blood running through his Motown veins. As the son of the great John Lee Hooker, he was exposed to the life of the blues from a young age. At only eight years old Jr. performed on Detroit's WJBK radio and knew from that moment that he wanted to follow the path of his father and become a world-class musician.
