There are many listings so we have put events in red (blue = linked!) that we think will be good, well attended, or should be interesting.

From Leigh Feldman:
Things I'm currently jocking…

Free ish… We have tix here and will be giving away some on twitter (add @leighfeldman3) to RJD2, Tiesto, Ceu, B-Side Players, Devotchka, DJ P/Egytpian Lover and Live&Direct! Wanna win any of them? Forward this email to a friend, have them write us asking to join the group and we'll enter you both in a drawing to win — or follow us on twitter @leighfeldman3! (These are from Leigh, not Pipeline. Email him to join his list & win: leighfeldman3 @ gmail)

Free music ish… Who is Kane? On some message boards this has been a popular thread as this mix has surfaced – http://www.mediafire.com/?wmyzrz3dlwt – which is causing tons of people to speculate that it is a side project of Girl Talk.

Things to look for… The grand opening of Refuge on Saturday night! A new audiovisual center is hosting a huge celebration — open bar hour starting at 9pm, DJ P, Egyptian Lover, Datsik, Megaladon, Tyler Tastemaker, Merchants Of, Behnibubu, DJ Mercedes and tons more! Check out the new music/event/café/shopping space at 116 SE Yamhill.
