The Pojama People team up once again with Zappa alum IKE WILLIS for an awesome live performance of Frank Zappa’s music at the Mt. Tabor Theater. Willis worked with music legend Frank Zappa from 1978 to 1993, and can be heard on such notable albums as Joe’s Garage (he was “Joe”), Thingfish (he was “Thingfish”) and Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life (he was “The Walrus”)

Opening for Pojama People is Twisted Whistle, an awesome combination of bluegrass, jazz, americana and rock and roll featuring a cello, guitar, mandolin and percussion. Their Pink Floyd covers will blow your mind.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see IKE Willis and the Pojama people bring Frank Zappa alive at the Mt. Tabor Theater.

Beautiful pic from Sarah during last year’s Oregon Tulip Festival.  This year’s festival kicks off on  Friday, March 25. According to the site, this is the perfect time of year to take pictures of row upon row of tulips. Hopefully we get some sunny weather this weekend! The festival ends on May 1, so enjoy it while you can. Woodburn is less than an hour drive from Portland, and here is a map.

Emo Philips has had his own specials on Showtime, HBO and Channel 4 along with countless television guest appearances across the world. Jay Leno described him as the best joke writer in America, and he’s playing Helium this weekend!

About Emo Philips:

Considered by many, including “Weird Al” Yankovic, as one of the funniest people on the planet, Emo Philips has performed over 6000 times, throughout the English-speaking world (including a multi-week run at the Playhouse Theater in London’s West End.) Since starting out — at the age of twenty — in Chicago in 1976, Emo has had award-winning comedy albums, several cable specials (including an hour-long one on HBO), and many appearances on network television. He has appeared in films (most notably, as the table-saw demonstrator in UHF) and has lent his distinctive voice to animated TV shows (such as Doctor Katz, Slacker Cats and Home Movies), but his first love remains stand-up.

Written by Charise Castro Smith and directed by Olga Sanchez, BOOMCRACKLEFLY is having its world premiere right here in Portland at the Milagros Theatre.

Just how far would you go for love? In a New York barrio, a female impersonator ignores the advice of an imaginary grandmother to fall in love with an insatiable scientist; in a Key West circus, two acrobat sisters are divided over the ghost of Ernest Hemingway; and in revolutionary Havana, a man who wishes he had wings yearns to fly away to another land.

Three seemingly disparate stories weave together in a clever combination of science fiction and magical realism to create an eccentric environment that is as unsettling as it is irresistible.

See a diverse line-up of Portland performance artists tomorrow night at Portland State University to raise awareness about the earthquake in Japan and raise funds for relief efforts. The event is free, but all donations will go to Mercy Corps.
