Happy Friday! Well, we went from 75 degrees and sunny to rainy and gloomy real fast. Of course, right as I was trying to make plans to go to a pumpkin patch. I guess that's what I get for trusting October weather in Portland.

Thankfully, there's plenty to do that doesn't involve standing in the rain, so let's get into what's happening this weekend!

But first, a giveaway! Enter to win tickets to see Night of the Living Dead (1968) at Whitsell Auditorium on Saturday, Oct. 31. A little Halloween horror seems pretty fitting right about now.
