The Martyrs @ The Big Busk
Downtown Portland, Oregon

If there aren’t enough big Portland events for you this weekend, how about a free downtown concert around every corner? That is what you get with the Big Busk, which returns for its third year this Saturday. The first set will start at 11AM, the last at 7PM. It’s mostly up and down Morrison and Yamhill, with a couple acts performing in front of Tender Loving Empire at 10th and Stark.

There is an an afterparty at The White Eagle, starting probably around 9. So far, Steel & Glass, DaiN, and Fair Weather Watchers are playing the afterparty. You can also view many pictures from last year on Flickr here.

Since January 2009, Friends of Family Farmers has hosted InFARMation (and Beer!) each month in Portland. This is an opportunity to bring the issues that Oregon family farmers face onto the radar of urban consumers, and the community in general.

The topic changes each month, but always focuses on the larger picture of the connection between food and farms in our state. When eaters connect with farmers, it makes our food web stronger, and real changes in our local food system are possible. InFARMation (and Beer!) is always free and open to the public, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 5:30-8:30pm.

With only the vaguest itinerary, few hard bookings, and a just-revealed pregnant ex-girlfriend, Harrington sets out to live the life. As we follow him from town to town, sleeping in his truck and waiting on doorsteps in hope of a gig, we learn of his troubled upbringing and struggles with drugs. Read the rest of this entry »
