GAME 16: Blazers @ New Jersey Nets
November 28, 4PM; Comcast Sports
Portland Trail Blazers Schedule

The Blazers find themselves in New Jersey tonight, where they will play the Nets and try to avoid dropping 3 straight games for the 2nd time this season.

The Nets are currently sit at 5-11, which is exactly 5 more wins than they had this time last year. They're still bad. Both the Nets and Blazers struggle to score points consistently. Neither team rebounds particularly well.

The Nets on paper.
Starting five: Travis Outlaw, Kris Humphries, Brook Lopez, Devin Harris, Anthony Morrow
Off the bench: Jordan Farmar, Johan Petro, Damion James, Derrick Favors

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
The Blazers are currently 4-1 against the Eastern Conference.
Joel Pryzbilla was ready to play Friday night, but was held back with a stomach virus.

From Leigh Feldman:

Free ish…

Free ish… We have tix here and will also be giving away some on twitter (add @leighfeldman3) and facebook (facebook.com/LifeisaPartyFB). This week we have a fully comped drink tab at Beauty Bar (tonight), tix to BMG (tonight), tix to GWAR (tonight), passes to the Living Room Theaters (sat) and entry for 4 at Massive (sat)! 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!

Free music ish… DJ Excel's Live at Voyeur Pt. 3 Mix. When Excel's not busy making edits and remixes with Diplo and Mick Boogie he's out destroying it as a dj. He'll be at Beauty Bar tonight and at Massive (Portland's craziest party) at the Crown Room on Saturday. You definitely do not want to miss either. http://www.mediafire.com/?ofztzdmyzjk

Awesome ish… Get ready for the next LifeisaParty Second Saturday Open Bar Concert Series! We'll be doing it again in December with Das EFX! Mark your calendars for the 11th and come join us! Also let us know who you'd love to see perform and maybe we can make it happen!

More Awesome ish … Yes yes yes! It's last Saturday this weekend, which means it's MASSIVE which means you should probably start preparing right now. Amazing dj's, live art, photographers, wild party, people grinding all night and a beer wheel. Probably describes your Thanksgiving. Best part of this party though is that it is FREE before 10:30 if you come to the door and say ‘LifeisaParty.' See you at the Crown Room on Saturday!

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

GAME 15: Blazers vs New Orleans Hornets
November 26, 7PM; Comcast Sports
Portland Trail Blazers Schedule

After a much needed extended 6 day Thanksgiving break, the Blazers are back in action tonight against Monty Williams and his white-hot New Orleans Hornets. The Hornets have dropped three of their last six, and are coming off back to back road losses to the Clippers and Jazz.

Tonight the Blazers get a little deeper, with both Brandon Roy and Joel Pryzbilla returning to the lineup. Expect both to see limited minutes. The Blazers have looked okay with Roy on the bench, watch to see how the team reacts to his return. Sometimes the return of a superstar causes a team's offense to become stagnant, as the rest of the team stands around and watches.

The Hornets on paper.
Starting five: Chris Paul, David West, Trevor Ariza, Emeka Okafor, Marco Belinelli
Off the bench: Willie Green, Jason Smith, Quincy Pondexter, Jerryd Bayless

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
Monty Williams is an early favorite for Read the rest of this entry »

The classic Friday night of funk, soul and breakbeats with DJ Aquaman. $5

Saturday, November 27th, 2010
ZACH DEPUTY, KORY QUINN BAND @ 9:00pm

There is nothing out there like Zach Deputy. Truly a one-man band, he is a powerhouse of performance, technical chops, and one hell of a charismatic presence. What Zach does is live looping: layering sounds through the magic of technology to create a full band effect. He isn't the only performer out there doing this, but he has taken the technique to the next level. First and foremost, however, Zach Deputy is a songwriter, a shredding guitarist and a soulful singer with a 4+ octave vocal range.

He can also drop freestyle rhymes with the best of them. Read the rest of this entry »
