VISUAL ART—Disjecta’s eighth annual art auction is your chance to see innovative pieces by artists like Delaney Allen (just-right interrupted portraits) and Claire Ashley (puffy, humanoid, very colorful installations), and to indulge your Medici aspirations (the art-collecting kind, GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER). Proceeds go to Disjecta’s operating budget, which means you’ll be supporting
future art shows, plus, free drinks! MEGAN BURBANK

SHOOZ—One of the biggest hit songs to ever come out of Portland is Nu Shooz’s classic “I Can’t Wait.” Hmm, you look confused. Just cue it up on YouTube. We’ll wait…. Yep! That’s Nu Shooz. The ’80s freestyle funkmeisters are playing their first hometown club shows since 1992, so head on down to one of tonight’s two sets, and be ready to dance! NED LANNAMANN
