It’s the first long weekend of the year, and we’ve got plenty of suggestions for how to spend it, with events from Sophie Truax to Love in a F*cked-Up World: Dean Spade, plus opportunities to celebrate MLK Day like Don’t Shoot PDX’s 11th Annual Reclaim MLK March for Human Rights & Dignity. For more ideas, check out our guide to the top events of the week.

Gone Girl // Ethereal Reflections Murder Mystery Party
Ethereal Reflections—the pop-up gallery collective hosting some of the buzziest wine nights, art shows, and reading parties in the city—seems to have the magic touch when it comes to events with a perfect cross-section of chicness and fun. A screening of cool girl takedown Gone Girl that’s preceded by an actual murder mystery game with a bunch of strangers? I’m in!! If you’re also a fan of fun, head to Tomorrow Theater for the experience, which should confirm my suspicions that murder is entertaining, sometimes. LINDSAY COSTELLO
