MUSIC—The Crystal Ballroom is throwing themselves a shindig of trippy proportions with the Sabertooth Micro Fest. They’re celebrating their psychedelic history with a host of awesome bands, like the stoner metal of Sleep on Friday, Kurt Vile and the Violators on Saturday, and Stardeath and White Dwarfs on Sunday. Wild, man. COURTNEY FERGUSON
Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside, Fri-Sat 8 pm, $30-35, Sun 8 pm, $20, $75 for weekend pass, all ages
COMEDY—Brian Posehn is a funny fellow. He likes metal, getting stoned, and appearing on stuff you enjoy, like New Girl, The Sarah Silverman Program, and Reno 911! He’s also a big nerd, so he’s the perfect stand-up for Portland audiences. Hopefully he’ll tell the most horrific pot-smoking story ever, which took place in good ol’ Stumptown. COURTNEY FERGUSON
