November 11, 2025

It’s Veterans Day, and while we usually fill your inbox with things to do, today’s a little different. We’re keeping it short, just a few ways to honor, reflect, and support those who’ve served. But before we do that, enter a holiday giveaway!

Comedy icons Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme can help with that. Win VIP access and meet these drag legends at The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show tour when it rolls through Portland on December 22.*
