75+ Portland Weekend Events | April 30-May 3

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.

Reminder: Also, we give out free tickets every Thursday to our Portland Facebook Group including to many of the shows highlighted below. Join it if you like free stuff.

From Leigh Feldman:
Portland Weekend EventsThings I am currently jocking…

1) The Red Dress Party gathers 500+ people dressed all in red dresses to dance and go crazy all night. The Taurus Ball 4 will surely be a spectacle as the people involved go over the top with decorations and the artists performing will without a doubt be going wild. And then there is Jello Wrestling at the Watershed. Not much else needs to be said. These things speak for themselves.

2) DJ Marvel's ‘Models & Bottles' mix djmarvel.podOmatic.com/enclosure/2009-04-24T18_07_30-07_00.mp3 DJ Marvel just happens to be in town for DJ Gigahurtz's birthday bash and on Friday night he'll be rocking it at Hot Mess at Tube. Come see him for free! If you've never been to Hot Mess you have no idea what you are missing.

Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.
See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
