Please let me promote your organization’s events as much as I do the ones I know well.

Instead of a First Friday for July, Milepost 5 (where I live and volunteer) is having an opening reception (FB invitation) for a group show tonight. “Typos” feature work from five Portland-based artists: Abigail Freed, August Stanley, Erin Law, Frankie Bruiser, Shay Myerson. There is one typo in this paragraph; since I’m a one-man shop sans editors beyond myself, let this be the first 10 cent typo bounty.

“There will be food and refreshments and possibly live music (TBD)!”

Milepost 5 Gallery, 850 NE 81st * 7 pm – 10 pm * free

Pepper Grinders (FB profile) play at O’Neill Public House.

“Using the cream of the crop of amazing Portland players, the band is dedicated to the sound of the jump blues bands and the screaming sax greats from the late 40s and early 50s.”

O’Neill Public House * 9:30 pm – 1 am * free 

SATURDAY

The last day to sign up (here) for the Lents Garage sale is July 5th. It will be held Saturday, July 15, from 9 am – 3 pm.

“The Lents Neighborhood Garage Sale is a new neighborhood-wide event made up of many individual garage sales hosted at participating homes or businesses. This one-day event provides the opportunity for Lents residents (the boundary is the 97266 zip code) to add their sale to our Garage SaleMap that will be available both in print and online. On the day of the sale, shoppers can access multiple sales, meet neighbors, and explore the neighborhood!”
