75+ Portland Weekend Events: March 12-15
March 12, 2009 — PDXPIPELINELeigh 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.
Also, PDX Pipeline is giving away a pair of Bridgetown Comedy Festival tickets tomorrow/Friday.
From Leigh:
Things I am currently jocking …
This sunshine.

Lingerie Fashion Shows. Luckily there is one tonight. The people at illababy.com are hosting Attraction at Aura and are letting people in for free before 9pm if you RSVP. Check their site for more info.
There is a lot going on this week … booze cruises, drunks in shopping carts, art shows, store openings, dj nights and dance parties, house shows, liquidation sales, craft fairs and even a ping pong tournament. I love this city. Did I mention that I also love the sunshine?
See you all out and about, Leigh Feldman

Sweet! I didn’t know that Ashley has a show at the Lizard Lounge. I gotta check that out. His work is rad.

The 3rd Floor Comedy event is going to be excellent, especially the duo from Eastland Academy who take the stage after 3rd Floor!

Kulturszene is not “minimal electro”, its techno. Some of it may be minimal techno, but its certainly not an electro night in any way shape or form. (Where did you even get the phrase ‘minimal electro’??)
Kontrol vs. Auralism is not “house techno breaks.” Its a 100% techno lineup, there will be no breaks, and no house.
The 3rd Floor, while awesome, is not “improv comedy.” It’s sketch comedy, as the title reflects. The sketches are scripted, its completely different from improv style.

DeLicious! is a new Queer dance/art/performace party to be more specific. It will provide an alternative atmosphere to other queer parties and events in Portland. That description makes it sound like it will play alternative rock. The music will be genre bending and will cross many spectrums of sound.

Thanks Heads Up – with over 75 events each week, Leigh works hard to try to get as much information packed in as possible based on the info he’s given. Sometimes, unfortunately, descriptions get a bit misdirected.
All of the events will be awesome – so we look forward to continuing with Leigh’s event posts and thanks for visiting Pipeline!
