Speechless
The Siren Theater’s improvised PowerPoint presentation show Speechless is back, with the best kind of organized chaos: a delightful lineup of funny Portlanders making up lectures on the spot—”TED Talk, startup pitch, even a self-help seminar” are all fair game—to accompany surprise slides and placate a team of judges, including our own Wm. Steven Humphrey! Next slide! MEGAN BURBANK
Siren Theater, 315 NW Davis, 8 pm, $12
Mean Jeans, Fire Retarded, Mister Tang
The Mean Jeans’ post-Ramones party punk is as versatile and nourishing as pizza. It’s good hot or cold, it’s delicious with toppings or without, and it brings friends and family together. Celebrate the Portland band’s latest slice, Tight New Dimension, at tonight’s sure-to-be packed-to-the-gills release show. NED LANNAMANN
The Liquor Store, 3341 SE Belmont, 9 pm, $10-12
