The good people that host the dance party Electric Feel (Saturday night @ the Fez Ballroom) are offering FREE entry to anyone that comes to the door before 11pm and says ‘LifeisaParty.’ Townbombing (Friday Night @ Tube) is offering $1 High Life’s for anyone that comes and takes their shirt off, err, says ‘LifeisaParty’ when ordering their drinks … with their shirt off.

 

3) This mix by local dj/producer/record collector Rev. Shines. I’ll let it speak for itself, but it’s definitely a toast to the boogie… http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nwjmazjz4mi

 

4) Upcoming events… I’m definitely looking forward to Massive on May 30th, but next weekend is a big one! Flosstradamus, Mos Def, Amanda Blank, Glitch Mob, Urban Golf, more fashion shows, an anime festival and perhaps the craziest one of them all… A Memorial Day Weekend Cruise/Boat Party with the DJ for the Portland Trailblazers! For info on this and how to get tix call 503.839.1738.

 

5) As always, Pipeline has a ton of tickets to give away to their Facebook group later today, including Ben Folds, Scott Weiland, Star Trek, Goodfoot Lounge, Holocene, Doug Fir, Mos Def (another chance to win), plus many more... Join and win @ http://pdx.be/facebook-group

 

 

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

 

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.

 

See you all out and about!
