MUSIC—Portland’s partying-est pizza-loving punks the Mean Jeans kick off their US tour tonight with a free show of dumb, great rawk played fast, loud, and goopy. They’ll be doing double duty as the backing band for tourmate Kepi Ghoulie, so let’s send ’em off with a bang. NED LANNAMANN

STREET FEE—After a months-long wait, we know precisely how Mayor Charlie Hales and Commissioner Steve Novick plan to raise millions for the city’s roads. City council will vote on the $46 million Portland Street Fund—a cluster of income and business taxes—in early December. Angry? Elated? This afternoon’s hearing is your best chance to offer thoughts. Civic participation! DIRK VANDERHART
