Leigh just sent out his weekly email of Portland weekend events. It is reproduced below. You can receive the email as well by writing Leigh at twocliche@gmail.com.

There are many listings so we have put events in red that we think will be good, well attended, or should be interesting.

From Leigh:
Oh Snap! This weekend is going to be Massive!

This weekend is the return to Portland for Sammy Bananas. If you missed him last time you missed one of the best parties that has ever taken place in our fair city. Don't fret though; he's back from his Australian tour and he's kindly sharing his ‘Aussie Tour' mix.

Also, if you missed the sneak peak at Tyler Tastemaker and Dr. Adam's mixtape, grab that here … http://www.divshare.com/download/6639789-9bc

And because everyone has been so kind to share something with us to share with you, we feel the need to share as well (plus it's Birthday time so we are in a giving mood!).

Come to the Crown Room (NW 4^th and Davis) on Saturday (2/28) before 10pm (22:00 military time) and say the words ‘Life is a Party' and gain FREE entry to the dance party and fashion show that is the event known as Massive. Have you not been before? We'll catch you up … Video one and Video 2 … this time there is free ice cream (thanks Ben&Jerry's!).

See you all out and about, Leigh Feldman

If you are looking for something to do Saturday, this is a great benefit. Pipeline will be there and live -streaming the fashion show and activities at Qik.ccom/Pdxpipeline. Tune in Saturday at 9PM

From the press release:
Portland, OR — On February 28th, the Benson Hotel is presenting For Alec: A Fashion Benefit for Alexander Martinez to raise money for the Martinez family while their son undergoes treatment for a very rare brain tumor.

To help the Martinez family with their increasing medical expenses, Semper Fashion and Christina Weber, Photographer, with support from LAIKA, have teamed up to present a benefit fashion show in the Benson Hotel's Mayfair Ballroom.

Many of Portland's hottest designers will be featured, including women's lines from Emilia Kaye, janeane marie, and Sarah Seven; lingerie from R.A.W.; accessories by Lux Jewelry and Beauty and the Bead; and menswear from DIMITRI and local boutique, Haberdashers. The show will be topped off with a selection of stunning evening gowns from Stephanie D. Couture.

The event's planners have packed the evening with entertainment.

The doors open at 7:00 p.m., with a no-host bar and dining catered by the Benson Hotel, DJ K-os spinning in the ballroom, the acoustic duo Boy and Bean, and the roaming magician, Alexander, Master of Marvels entertaining everyone throughout. At 9:00 p.m.

Nicolle Camarata of NicolleShops Portland and Fox 12's Better will host the fashion show, kicking off with the up and coming hip-hop troupe, the Dynasty Dancers.

A minimum $15 donation is requested for entry to the benefit. Read the rest of this entry »
