Spring in Portland: Farmers Market Opens Saturday, March 21

Posted By Julian Chadwick

We already have the Farmers Market opening in the list of Portland Weekend Events, but I wanted to share the info I received in a Facebook message from them. I took this picture at the first day of PSU Farmers Market in 2007, so it might look similar in weather and weather-based clothing. Also, no dogs at the Saturday market beginning this year apparently.

Tonight: Boy Eats Drum Machine + Diamond Liars Album Release Party

Posted By Stephanie El-Hajj

What it is: Diamond Liars CD Release Party for "Sweaty Money"
Why I'm going: Boy Eats Drum Machine

boy eats drum machine + Diamond Liars"boy eats drum machine is the solo work of native portlander, jon ragel. he is a songwriter, producer, singer, turntablist, and also plays saxophone, guitar, synthesizer, organ, and several percussive nick nacks. as a one-man musical act, BEDM merges the worlds of turntablism and live rock performance as ragel spins breaks and surgically inserts sounds while juggling vocals, percussion, and saxophone."

Note: If you sound like Queen, David Bowie, AND the Postal Service… I'm sold. SOLD I SAY.

Also featuring Portland's own DJ RAD who's opened for Chromeo and Ladytron.

Bonus: Since it's sponsored by UNKL, Thee Creamery, Compound and Hankbuilt I'm expecting to stumble out of here with some cool shit.

Come with – but if you can't, I'll be posting live pics and updates @stephelhajj.
