GUYS! Winter’s almost over and it’s time to drag yourselves out of your hovels and shake the rust off your bones! That’s why we’d like to cordially invite all of you to join us for tomorrow night’s (Fri, March 15) special Mercury-edition of “Shut Up and Dance” at Rotture (315 SE 3rd)! As you know DJ Gregarious is a longtime friend and supporter of our little news rag, and as a exercise in mutual back-slapping (and to celebrate his recent move to the East side), the Mercury gang will be showing up for some drinking and dancing fun!

WANT TO WIN TICKETS TO GET ON THE GUEST LIST? Email me here by noon tomorrow, and I’ll choose ten lucky people (and their plus one) to win free admission and party with us.

Again, that’s the Special Mercury Edition of “Shut Up and Dance”(with DJ Gregarious) featuring your fave booty-shaking hits from the ’80s to now! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
