HUMP!—It’s here! It’s here! The weekend that perverts have been waiting for all year! It’s the HUMP! amateur porn film fest, in which dirty birds like YOU produce five-minute filthy flicks, while the rest of us cram into Cinema 21 to laugh, shriek, and gaze upon them in awe and hilarious horror. WE! LOVE! HUMP! SO! MUCH! (Oh, we love HUMP! host Dan Savage, too—who’ll be there in person!) WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
Cinema 21, 616 NW 21st, Wed Nov 12-Sun Nov 16, various screenings, see portlandmercury.com/hump for times and tickets, $18, 18+
MUSIC—”The Coup is here again?” you might ask. I can only tell you that I have lived in parts of the
country where the West Coast’s most potent mix of political conscience and teeth-shaking bass beats don’t visit at all. You’ve got it so good, Portland. Boots Riley & Co. don’t have a new album to pimp. They’re here for the hell of it, which is also why you should go see them. DIRK VANDERHART
