MUSIC—A decade after Will Sheff and his Okkervil River compatriots released the classic Black Sheep Boy, they’ve been taking the old girl on a spin through the country. True, it’s just Sheff who’ll be showing up to the Doug Fir’s betimbered cellar this evening. Sheff’s enough. DIRK VANDERHART
Doug Fir, 830 E Burnside, 9 pm, $20
PEACOCK LANE—FUCK YEAH, MOTHERFUCKERS! All year long, we fucking wait, and it’s finally fucking here. Peacock Lane opens to the public tonight, and it’s going to be FUCKING NUTS! LIGHTS, LIGHTS, LIGHTS! Your eyes will probably BURN OUT OF YOUR SKULL. You will probably get a SUNBURN. You will probably DIE from a CHRISTMAS ORGASM. Oh, and what’s that? A motherfucking cocoa booth with free motherfucking cocoa and also cider that is accepting donations of cash and canned goods with the cash going to Make-a-Wish? TIME TO DO IT UP, PORTLAND! PEACOCK LAAAAAAAANE! RIDE OR DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS! ERIK HENRIKSEN
