ROLLER DERBY—The Rose City Rollers have a weekend filled with hard-hitting derby action. Friday, the up-and-comers of Portland’s league take on the Gorge. Saturday, it’s the High Rollers duking it out against last year’s champs the Break Neck Betties in the main event. And Sunday, the gals of the junior league will face a frosty team from British Columbia! COURTNEY FERGUSON

MUSIC—Sure, you could head to the Wonder Ballroom because of all the fancy names on one bill: acts like Stephen Malkmus, Aan, Gaytheist, Red Fang, Summer Cannibals, and more. But anyone with a heart knows the real stars of tonight’s fourth annual “Best of Portland” by the School of Rock: the energetic and amazing kids whose light all those stars have to match. DENIS C.
