Happy Thursday! I went to see Isaiah Rashad at the Crystal Ballroom last night, and he was SO good! He sounded amazing, and it was so nice to have him back in Portland after five years. Honestly, such a good show, and I'm so glad I went!

And since we're already talking about the Crystal Ballroom, we've got a pair of tickets to give away to see Dirty Heads on December 3rd! Enter to win, and let's get into everything else happening!

THIS WEEKEND

Monthly To-Do: Help Families in Crisis With CARE®

This one doesn’t need a ticket or an RSVP. When hunger, conflict, or disaster hits, families need help long after the news moves on, and a CARE®️ monthly membership keeps food, clean water, and medical supplies arriving the whole time. CARE has been doing this for 80 years, and 97% of its staff live in the countries and regions where they work, so your gift gets there fast and sticks around. Setup is simple, and the gift is tax-deductible.*

LOCALS ONLY

• Vintage lovers, this one's for you! 🛍️ Carnival is taking over The Redd on November 15th with a whole lot of rare finds, antique clothing, and one-of-a-kind pieces from new and returning vendors. General admission is just $5, so come ready to dig for some treasures!

• Books, coffee, and a little gelato? Sounds like a pretty good Saturday! 📚 Book Bar is celebrating Portland Book Festival on November 7th with extended hours and an affogato pop-up featuring Pinolo Gelato and Roseline Coffee from 1–4 pm. Matcha lovers, don't worry, they've got matchagatos too!
