BOOKS—Attention, book nerds! Christmas is here! It’s LitHop PDX, when local presses and national lit journals fill six Old Town/Chinatown venues with 54 wonderful writers for an evening of boozy, short ‘n’ sweet readings. Look for local faves like Martha Grover, Zachary Auburn, Sara Jaffe, and Justin Hocking. MEGAN BURBANK

COMEDY—Hella Feller might be a convoluted name for a stand-up showcase (something about the Doug Fir Lounge and felling trees?), but there’s nothing complicated about tonight’s edition, which features the heeeelarious James Adomian, plus sets from Nick Sahoyah, Trevor Thorpe, and Mercury gal Bri Pruett!
