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 win tickets to Mario (tonight), Rage-A-Car w/ Noah D & The Bassist (fri), FREE Entry for 4 to the open bar party at Crown Room (sat), 3 passes to the Oaks Park Halloween Bazaar (sun) and 2 tickets to WWE Smackdown at the Rose Garden on Tues! 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 you can find us on facebook at facebook.com/LifeisaPartyFB to get tickets, music and info on weekly events.
Free music ish… The bass heavy/future music scene in Portland is getting bigger each week and local dj/producer Tyler Tastemaker is one of the folks at the front of it. He recently dropped a heater of a mixtape called ‘Praying For An Indian Summer.' I highly recommend it for anyone into a wide variety of genres, including hip hop, funk, glitch, soul, dubstep and countless others. Download it here: http://bit.ly/9uuCrD and come see him start things off at the open bar party on Saturday!
Awesome ish… This Sat Oct. 9th is Second Saturday, which means that LifeisaParty throws a party and we pay for the first hour of your drinks! It also happens to be the same night as the PDX Edition of the famous NYC event known as BLAP, where producers, mc's and music makers gather to showcase their stuff. Come join us Saturday at the Crown Room, where you'll get an hour of free drinks, music from Sabzi of the Blue Scholars, Illmind (who has worked with Redman, De La Soul, Eminem and tons more), YRB magazine, music supervisors from Madison Square Garden and a chance to hear some music from some of the best in the NW!
This list is growing by leaps and bounds. Turn to the person next to you and see if they are reading the same email. If not, forward it to them and tell them to join the community.
Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.
See you all out and about! Leigh Feldman
