MUSIC—Perhaps you’re the type of person who can’t express the love you’re feeling. If so, today’s the day to let the expert step in and do it for you, when the Oregon Symphony presents Valentine’s Day with Smokey Robinson. Listen to this classic soul singer croon his greatest hits (“You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “The Tracks of My Tears,” and more), then turn to your sweetie, and tell him/her, “What he said.” WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, 1037 SW Broadway, 7:30 pm, $45-125, all ages
DRAG LUV—A night of monumental fun and creativity, the annual Love Ball is a glorious queer fête designed for those who don’t do anything halfway. Celebrating everything camp, the Love Ball forgoes classic formal wear for “Porno Cliche,” “Wintour Is Cumming”—anything that celebrates the loveable queerness in you. Plus it’s a fund-raiser for local LGBTQ foundations. Gotta love that! WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
The Embers Avenue, 110 NW Broadway, 9 pm, $10
COMEDY—In a town lousy with quality stand-up showcases, the feminist-friendly, warmhearted Am I Right, Ladies? is one of the best. Tonight, JoAnn Schinderle, Whitney Streed, the Doubleclicks (!), and more will join hosts Barbara Holm and Jen Tam in what promises to be a quick-witted middle finger to the paternalistic racket that is Valentine’s Day.
