* This weekend… We all have to wait one more weekend for Massive (Saturday the 30th @ Crown Room), but this weekend is Flosstradamus (tonight!), Bounce (tonight), Urban Golf, Mos Def and a Memorial Day Weekend Cruise/Boat Party (call 503.839.1738 for info) with the DJ for the Portland Trailblazers.
