MUSIC—The rapper behind Black Portland is coming to Actual Portland. Young Thug is responsible for an astonishing amount of excellent work—from countless guest appearances to his brand-new Slime Season mixtape—and he’s among the most essential and musical emcees in the game. NED LANNAMANN
w/Tory Lanez, Rachel West; Roseland, 8 NW 6th, 8 pm, $28, all ages
COMICS—There’s a reason everyone’s reading Bitch Planet: because it’s fantastic. Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Valentine De Landro’s sci-fi take on the women-in-prison genre is an addictive blast of pulp, smarts, and feminism—and tonight, DeConnick’s on hand to celebrate the release of the first collection, featuring the first five issues. ERIK HENRIKSEN
Floating World Comics, 400 NW Couch, 6-8 pm, FREE
FASHION—It’s big and weird, and it’s here! FashioNXT features a showcase of designers from China, the latest innovations in wearable technology, a slew of Project Runway folks from near and far, and a competition for emerging Portland labels (note: I am a judge). It’s also your best chance to see a fashion show in this city done like the big boys do: in a giant tent. MARJORIE SKINNER
Big-ass tent at NW 9th & Northrup, Wed-Sat, 8 pm, $25-165
