On Monday night, industry insiders and fans alike gathered at the Mt. Tabor theater to celebrate the people and clubs who ensure that Portland remains much-beloved by sailors everywhere  at the first “PDX Strippies” strip club industry awards show.

Hostesses Rocket and DJ Krista (Union Jack’s) announced the nominees and winners for categories including best bartender, best overall club, and of course, Stripper of the year.

About Low (myspace.com/low)
"Low's approach to a holiday album is unlike any other. Eschewing the jolly — and overplayed — ditties that increasingly fill the other albums, Low presents a vision of Christmas that is a bit somber, but ultimately more filled with Christmas spirit than the whole wall of holiday hits at Sam Goody." ~Pop Matters

Low joins us for a special holiday show, and there is nothing like this rocking Minnesota-based trio to make us experience some yuletide joy. Their songs are a minimalist soundscape of harmonies and droning guitars, an ambient noise that was a far cry from the grunge that surrounded them during their formation. Touring in support of their vinyl reissue of Christmas, they'll be playing the traditional holiday songs of our youth (with a dash of Low's moody buzz and angelic harmonics), along with songs from their entire catalog and a sneak preview of tracks from their upcoming 2011 Sub Pop release.

From our sponsors at New Deal Distillery:
2nd Annual Season's Eatings A Local Food, Wine and Spirits Market to Benefit the Oregon Food Bank

December 11 | Noon-6PM
New Deal Distillery
1311 SE 9th Avenue
Portland, Oregon | 97214 | 503-234-2513
Admission: 1 non-perishable item

Last year when we dreamed up the idea of a local food, wine and spirits market, we had no idea whether or not it would fly. In the end, we surmised that if we mixed good people with exceptional food and drink, it really couldn't go all that wrong.In fact, it was terrific.

Aside from bringing together a wonderfully diverse group of local food and spirits artisans, we attracted a lively crowd of market-goers, collecting more than 600 pounds of food, and about $500 in cash for the OregonFood Bank. For those of us for who are passionate about handcrafted food and drink, the fact that many people in our community struggle simply to nourish themselves is especially heart-wrenching. It's great toknow that we can join forces with our friends and partners to make a difference for those in need, while at the same time strengthening our local food economy and supporting the small farmers who make it all possible.

Season's Eatings is a holiday market where shoppers can ring in the season by choosing local for what they bring, serve and give. Market-goers at Season's Eatings will be treated to some of the best of what the area has to offer - Read the rest of this entry »
