Yeah Bud! This is one evening that you’re gonna have to rest up for. Take your protein pills and put your helmets on. The Q&EB will kick off the night (look for Scotty P to join the boys for some tunes). They’ll give you that high octane boost you’ll need to get out of the atmosphere.

Then sit back and let SPS send you into a heavenly orbit (and look for Jimmy R. of Q&EB to join the Superband for some tunes). There are no advance ticket sales – $10 admission paid at the door. You’ll want to get down there shortly after the doors open ’cause this one’s gonna fill up fast.

Rather than crawling multiple used book stores this weekend looking for that first edition, hit up the Rose City Used Book Fair. Show up early to pick through thousands of used books from dozens of vendors.

MASSIVE
w/ DJ Zimmie, Doc Adam

Facebook Event

Crown Room
205 NW 4th Avenue

This month’s MASSIVE features a fashion show by Stackin Kickz and will be hosted by Ronin Roc.

DJ Zimmie is no stranger to large scale events (or to PDX - a place he called home for a brief moment), having shared the stage with such legends as DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ AM, DJ Premier, Z-Trip, ?uestlove, Rich Medina & De La Soul. With his vast musical knowledge, eclectic song selection and innovative mixes, those who have seen him before know what they are in for, those that have never had the pleasure, have no idea what they are about to witness.
