This is the last weekend to see Fall of the House, a story about Alison Hallett's boyfriend ex-boyfriend "Portland's favorite late-night improvised serial”. I went to see this “cult classic in the making” last weekend and it was terrific. I'm still kicking myself for not seeing all of them and telling every person who comes near me that they should go see this. Really, go see this….

Update: Review of Fall of the House: Season Four Opener | Portland Theater

From Miranda King (writer/director)

Portland's favorite (and only!) improvised serial returns for its 3rd season! Watch the story of two households, seven roommates, six romantic entanglements, breakups, makeups, election day and karaoke! All this and more in the first four episodes of Fall of the House's yearlong, twelve episode season.

The story is mapped out, but actors work without a script, keeping dialogue spontaneous and reactions fresh.

Jason just reminded us another film event in PDX this evening for those of you who aren't going  to see Belladonna at Fantasy for Adults or The Astonished Man at Clinton St Theater. Between just these three options, I think we will all have a great Saturday night.

From Jason at Floating Wold comics & Bagdad Theater:

Shows start at 10 p.m., with live sets from Bridgetown Comedy; awesome 35mm trailers; unreleased vintage rock performances from Classic Concert Series (Bowie, Sabbath, Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, The Clash, etc.); and animation curated by Floating World Comics. Then at 11p.m., the movie!

Saturday, November. 22 BODY HEAT (1981) Dir. Lawrence Kasdan
Another 80s post-modern masterpiece, serving 70s sex-attack over a grill of 40s noir Read the rest of this entry »

Another great Saturday event in the PDX. If you like more traditional movies over the “adult film” kind (or both), you have a great option to support local work tonight at Clinton St Theater.

Information from Jason Freeman, Writer/Director:
“The Astonished Man” will be premiering Saturday November 22nd at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland, OR.  It starts at 9pm and will cost a measly 3 dollars at the door.  It is a co-production between Polluted Pictures and Dog Hole Pictures.

To keep it simple, it's a film noir about a botched robbery attempt that forces a psychologically unstable participant to look for answers. Trailer here

With all the events of Portland Vodka, PDX Snowboarding action and OPB Music get-downs, you might be asking us…

“Pipeline, what is the most adult event in Portland today/tonight?”

Well, thanks for asking. We give you Belladonna at Fantasy “for Adults only”. Yes, this Belladonna (wikipedia).

I just spoke with Tricia at Fantasy. She said they would be arriving at their Tigard location at 5PM in a “big pink Cadillac”. From their site:

“Meet the lovely Belladonna at our Tigard location November 22, from 5PM to 9PM.

She will be signing her movies, taking photos, and having a good time and she wants to see you there!”

PDXPipeline has convinced Melissa Lion (she likey pomegranate-alcoholic beverages) of BackfencePDX and Portland Sex talk (“69 is underrated”) fame to go out there and ask Belladonna Read the rest of this entry »

This might be the only time you will see snow in Portland this winter, so make your time.

Info from Portland Art Institute:
The 2nd Annual Backyard Bang Rail Jam rolls up fierce competition, local riders, live music, up‐close snowboarding action, and creative expression and education into a perfectly packed snowball that will land in the Pearl district in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, November 22, 2008, from noon to 4 pm.

The Art Institute of Portland, known for fresh design and uninhibited creativity, collides with Salomon Snowboards and Bonfire clothing to bring downtown Portland live snowboarding action and tricks, as well as the scene and style that makes a trip to Hood worthwhile.

We're bringing the creativity of the mountain to the streets of the Pearl in this professional rail jam competition.

The snowboarding rail jam will consist of a preliminary qualifying round where local kids Read the rest of this entry »

Another Saturday and another great PDX Vodka open house. Really? Really! Portland (and Highball), you make us so happy.

Info from Highball Distillery (website)
Highball Distillery will be holding an Open House Saturday, November 22 from noon to 5 p.m.

After four months of being on the market with Elemental Vodka, we're finally able to slow down for a moment to celebrate. It's long-overdue but we're happy to finally have the opportunity to invite the public to the facility and show everyone what we do, and how we do it.

We'll be offering tours, Q&A opportunities, door prizes, and the best Cajun jambalaya available this side of the Rocky Mountains! Our own Elemental Vodka will be on hand for free tastings and holiday gift purchase.

We look forward to seeing you there.
