GAME 28: Blazers vs Golden State Warriors
December 18, 7PM; Comcast Sports
Related: Trail Blazers Games, Schedule, and WIN Tickets

——————————————

The Blazers got a much needed win last night against the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves. Tonight, they stay and home to do battle with the Oakland Golden State Warriors.

This is another favorable match-up for the Blazers. Even with Don Nelson out and Keith Smart in, the Warriors aren't a real NBA team. They're more or less playing pickup basketball out there. They're going to go small and run. That's the game plan.

David Lee and Andris Biendrins form a decent front-court that could give LaMarcus Aldridge and Marcus Camby (if he plays, Read the rest of this entry »

GAME 27: Blazers @ Minnesota Timberwolves
December 17, 7PM; Comcast Sports
Related: Trail Blazers Games, Schedule, and WIN Tickets

——————————————

Miraculously, the Blazers are begin a favorable 4 game stretch tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The 6-20 Timberwolves are a terrible team with 1.5 good players. Their feature player, Lake Oswego native Kevin Love, is absolutely destroying the boards this year. Not only did he record the first 30/30 game in 28 years, he also has the same number of 20/20 games as the rest of the league combined (5). Love is averaging 20 points and 15.6 rebounds per game. The Timberwolves' other bright spot is Read the rest of this entry »

Holocene Presents:
ROCKBOX 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Friday, December 17
9PM | $3
http://www.holocene.org/calendar/

ROCKBOX is a dance party. Pure and Simple. The triumvirate of DJ KEZ (KBOO, THE FIX), Matt Nelkin (KPSU), and Dundiggy (THE FIX) play a masterfully blended mix of fun, dance oriented Hiphop, R&B, and Old School Electro with a dash of Bmore, Dancehall, 80s, and House thrown in for good measure.

As die-hard record collectors all three Dj's play exclusively vinyl. Every set and every ROCKBOX dance party is a custom experience with these cats digging into their seemingly bottomless crates to pull out the beats that make you want to sweat out the work week.

More than just another gig for these talented three, ROCKBOX dance party represents their long held vision of merging the classics alongside the progressive.

When he's not appearing in his weekly spot on Chelsea Lately or filming his top rated web series "College Experiment" for foxsports.com, Josh Wolf's unique, honest and high energy style of storytelling has made him a favorite at comedy clubs across the country.

Josh first got on stage when he was 15 years-old. His parents had to drive him to the show at which he was told by a "veteran" comic to "talk about what you know".  Since the only thing he knew was his family, Josh proceeded to do his entire set about how bad his parents' gas was. The combination of the crowd's laughter and parents' humiliation was enough to hook Josh for life.

He started doing comedy in Seattle where he landed a job as spokesman for Nintendo and Read the rest of this entry »
