BODY SLAM—In 1977, Andy Kaufman challenged the women of America to beat him in the wrestling ring. Dear Andy Kaufman: I Hate Your Guts! presents the incredulous, angry, passionate letters and photos from the ladies ready to take him on, read tonight by his former girlfriend Lynne Margulies. PAC

BRO BITE—Bites for Rights is an annual fundraising event in which a bunch of restaurants donate a generous portion of their proceeds to the LGBT advocacy group Basic Rights Oregon. Make your reservations in advance, and then chow down in good conscience. SK

FRIDAY, JUNE 25

PLAY NICE NICE—The 29th edition of the Supernature showcase is upon us, this time headlined by the diversely influenced Nice Nice—a little bit psych prog, a little bit noise, and a little bit of everything else. The duo's joined by Nudge's Brian Foote's little-seen solo project, Leech. MS

SUNDAY, JUNE 27

BIKE ALL DAY—Strap on your Spandex shorts (or normal clothes) and head to North Portland for Sunday Parkways, a free cycling event on select streets closed to motorized traffic. Watch for the thousands of confused, meandering cyclists, then bike your way toward a "mystery location" for the bike-mayhem-infused Multnomah County Bike Fair, the official conclusion of Pedalpalooza. Let's hope summer shows up by then. AM

RUM AND COKE—Bret Easton Ellis goes back to the well for his new novel Imperial Bedrooms, a sequel to his 1985 debut Less Than Zero.

ANON AND ON—Anonymous Theatre Company's annual performance brings together some of Portland's best actors—but I can't tell you which ones. Each actor rehearses one-on-one with the director, so no one, not even the actors, knows the identity of the cast until the curtains go up. This year, Anonymous tackles the Broadway hit Lend Me a Tenor. AH
Gerding Theater at the Armory, 128 NW 11th, 7 pm, $25

TUESDAY, JUNE 29

RAGE CAGE—For nearly 20 years, Chris Palko has been emotionally purging his inner demons on the mic under the name Cage. His raw-nerve lyrics and intensely personal delivery have earned him a fiercely loyal following of hiphop heads plus an unlikely superfan: Shia LaBeouf. Supposedly the famed actor wants to make a biopic about him—just as long as it's better than the last Indiana Jones. EAC
