Portland Weekend Events & Parties | February 26 – March 1

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:
Portland SkylineOh 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 4th 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
