Seemigly out of nowhere - this 'Scion Garagefest' lineup popped into our calendar a couple months ago - and the big day is just about here.

Taking place in Portland's Blocks of Rock downtown Saturday, the stellar lineup includes the legendary 13th Floor Elevators singer Roky Erickson headlining, along with Portland's Pierced Arrows, and a host of bands at Satyricon, Dante's Berba...

This weekend may be the last for you to revel in a still-sundrenched autumn chill (Check the FORECAST) so get out while you can.

I'll be at the Sauvie Island pumpkin patch before it turns to a mudbath - picking up apples, squashes and haybales.


At Oaks Park it's the Oregon Brewers Guild Fresh Hop "Tastival"

It's here! On Saturday October 3 - the annual and bizarre Portland Hallowe'en Bazaar comes to the Lloyd Center Doubletree.
Jack Maraglia (many may know him as Rose City Rudo!) and his lovely partner Jayne Hollenbeck have put a ton of work into their efforts to celebrate all things ghoulish and gothy - boasting a huge lineup of vendors, entertainers and sponsors.

Flaming lips - (lips only if we're lucky) - is looking for naked bike riders in Portland. I'm trying to figure out why they think they'd find them in our town, but nevertheless.
Looks like a video shoot for the band.
Hot day+naked bike riders, if that's your thing.

According to Brooklyn Vegan - the 90s alt rockers will be playing next year. Now I'm not saying you should stop by Malkmus' house on NE Burnside to confirm this or anything, but it could be cool -

David Krough

OK - I know I am not the first to write about it in the Portland's exploding food cart scene - but I finally tracked down the Koi Fusion truck near PGE Park the other night and holy cow!

I was aware of the spicy take on Korean BBQ meets Mexican fare, yet wasn't prepare for the cravings that have hung around my mouth.
The tacos and burritos, superb, with chicken or rib meat, steak plus kimc...
