MUSIC—It’s a sad, sad, sad day in Portland, because Laura Gibson is moving to New York. But hold off on the wailing and gnashing of teeth, because Stumptown’s favorite singer/songwriter is going to school and probably will only be gone for a couple of years. But those will be long, lonely years. Wish her bon voyage tonight. COURTNEY FERGUSON

DRAG—One of the flat-out standouts of last year’s TBA Fest was the hilariously impressive Critical Mascara: A Post-Realness Drag Ball hosted by the always fabulous Pepper Pepper. Drag performers from all over the universe will be competing in such intriguing categories as “Fierce,” “Shapeshifter Fantasy,” “Next-Level Femme,” and a crowd favorite for obvious reasons, the “Dance/Sweat/Vogue” dance-off!

Gibson must be using the money that she was overpaid with by Cover Oregon for that shitty jingle…..
