There is a new up and coming locale in NE Portland that has the beginnings of the next N Mississippi or NE Alberta. I don’t believe the area yet has a hipster name like NoPo or LoBu, but it will soon. I’m talking about the neighborhood around NE Dekum just east of NE MLK Blvd.
As a transitioning neighborhood, it is just starting to become a hub for new small businesses. I understand there is a pizza place, a deli, maybe a couple of artists’ studios. I’m here to tell you about Village Ballroom.
Village Ballroom is just that – a ballroom. This Friday though, instead of renting it out to a wedding or Bar Mitzvah, the ballroom is hosting a new music event. Our own Porn Diaries blogger Wizardboots is scheduled to perform hit unique style of folk. I also understand there will be cheap drinks. I know you just love live music if there are cheap drinks.
If you’re in the mood, head on out to NE and check out the Village Ballroom and Wizardboots (along with 2 other bands.) Be sure to introduce yourself, as Mr Boots loves to meet new people. Show starts @ 7pm and is FREEEEEEE.

Bummer. While I love music and cheap drinks, I don’t think my mother would be up for that. Hmm…will there really be full-frontal nudity at the show on Sunday??? My mother will be out of town by then.

@A. L. Venable – Well…it will be my birthday…..and I will probably be good and liquored up….and I am a bit of a loose cannon….so….do the math.
And speaking as a dirty old man….let me just say, never be ashamed of letting the dirty old flag fly!
Break a leg wizardboots!
I already have plans to check out Gabe Rozzell at Produce Row or I would be there.
Cheers,
