MUSIC—Here’s something to buoy your rain-spackled Pacific Northwest allegiances. For the new compilation All Your Friend’s Friends, Olympia indie label K Records offered up its entire catalog for sampling, then invited dozens of the region’s emcees to christen the resulting beats. The thumping, gray-green love-fest drops tonight at Dante’s, with performances from some of Interstate 5’s best. DIRK VANDERHART

DANCE—In case ya missed it, the rump-shakin’, sex-sweatin’ dance night Mrs. adjusted its name last month to Queen—and what’s different? Same hot ‘n’ messy turntablism from the great DJ Beyonda, but now with even more QUEER. That’s right, Queen is a flamboyant celebration and representation of all queer folk—regardless of what you look like or call yourself! (I’d expect a lot more “sweat,” too!) WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
