MUSIC—Mercury Music Editor Ned Lannamann is on vacation, but I know he’d be upset with me if I didn’t plug Def Leppard! That’s because, even though at first you might chuckle, a closer examination reveals that Hysteria and most of Pyromania actually hold up! (You’re on your own with openers Styx and Tesla, though. Can’t vouch.) MARJORIE SKINNER

FOOD—The many-headed hydra that is Feast Portland is back, ready to overstuff the mouths of those lucky enough to have bought tickets. Wear your chicest stretch pants to classes, special dinners, and tastings, including the new Smoked! event on Saturday, featuring the barbecue stylings of celebuchefs and a whole lot of hot air.
