Portland Events, Music, Art, Entertainment, Sustainability | PDXPIPELINE.com

Leigh just sent out his weekly email of Portland weekend events. It is reproduced below. You can get the email and your chance to win hookups for shows and deals by emailing leighfeldman3 @ gmail and asking to join

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 top music and art venues in Portland. Join it if you like free stuff.

From Leigh Feldman:
Things I'm currently jocking…

1) Free ish… I have tickets to Juan Maclean, the M.C. Escher show at P.A.M., Dane Cook, Jens Lekman, Roller Derby and the Catwalk fashion show. Forward this email to a friend, have them write us asking to join the group (and have them tell us who told them about ‘LifeisaParty' — that would be you!) and we'll add both of you to the drawing for free tickets!

2) More free ish… entry to the private Scion event tonight at Branx. You have to rsvp to get in — luckily you can do so at www.scion.com/metro.

3) Free music ish… This mix from nationally known big wig DJ Zimmie. He's in town rocking a few private events, but he'll be holding it down Friday Night at Hot Mess — http://www.mediafire.com/?malwujzykze

4) This commercial. Which is perfect considering that Massive was last week (that was a ridiculous event — if you have pics send me a link!) and that Hot Mess is this Friday Night at Tube. It's without a doubt one of PDX's sweatiest/best dance parties — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7ODAx_CpdY

Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.

See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
