Win Tickets: Dames & Games Cinco De Mayo Celebration ($24, May 5)
The pop-culture forces of burlesque and Mexican-style Loteria bingo converge at the Bossanova Ballroom with “Dames & Games”. Orchestre L’Pow! will present a one-of-a-kind date night with plenty of shake and shimmy and “couples-oriented” prizes (use your dirty imagination) for the lucky Loteria winners. Loteria is Mexico’s national bingo game, using pictures instead of letters and numbers. To win, comment on this post why you would like to attend.

Win Tickets: 2011 Portland Prom ($20, May 14)
For most, high school prom doesn’t turn out to deliver everything that is expected of it. Lack of confidence, inability to legally drink, and sexual angst are all hurdles that the common attendee of a high school prom struggles to overcome. However, for the second year running Just People, with a sponsorship from Red Stag bourbon, is giving the people of Portland the chance to relive their high school prom as older, wiser, and legal adults.
