MUSIC—The sun-shimmering psychedelic pop of Portland’s own Jackson Boone is the perfect music for opening your third eye. Tonight Boone releases his second album of cosmic candy—Natural Changes—which is full of the music Syd Barrett would have made if he’d ever had the chance to front Electric Light Orchestra, with a beachy West Coast flair.

COMEDY—The most descriptively titled event, Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction is a hysterical comedy night full of the cognitive dissonance of listening to dirty stories about your favorite Muppets and Friday Night Lights gangbangs, with host Bryan Cook and local erotic-story-weavers JoAnn Schinderle, Steven Wilber, and more. COURTNEY FERGUSON
Helium Comedy Club, 1510 SE 9th, 8 pm, $10-18
