Portland Funbook 3 Release PartyThe third installment of the Portland Funbook is an oversized volume full of games (a Portland music crossword puzzle!), articles, paper dolls (a "drunk dancer"), and tons of black-and-white images from local artists just waiting for you to grab a crayon and start scribbling outside the lines. Celebrate the Funbook release tonight at Holocene—$9 gets you a copy of the book and the accompanying 7-inch, featuring music from the likes of the Joggers and Parenthetical Girls. Holocene, 1001 SE Morrison, $9, 9:00 PM |
