Illaj - What Would Picasso Do?

Things I’m currently jocking…

1) Free ish… We have tickets to Dead Prez (hip hop), Live and Direct (dance party), Prince vs MJ (dance party), an advance screening of Bruno (movie), passes to the Frown Rose Fashion Show (fashion), the See-Thru Fashion Show (fashion) and one pass to the Oregon Country Fair (nekkedness). Wanna win any of them? Forward this email to a friend, have them write us asking to join the group (and have them tell us who told them about ‘LifeisaParty’ … that would be you!) and we’ll add both of you to the drawing for free tickets to whatever show you want. Just make sure to tell us which show!

2) More free ish … Pipeline has a 5+ pairs of tickets to give away to Snoop Dogg, Mickey Avalon, Stephen Marley & Slightly Stoopid at Memorial Coliseum next Friday the 17th. Tell them what your favorite D-O-Double G lyrics are and be enterted to win: http://tr.im/snoop0717 … Pipeline also has 4 tickets to one this city’s most interesting events: The Portland Night (Bike) Ride. The ride has fire jugglers, glow-in-the-dark hula hoopers, a disco party and ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT doughtnuts! Win them here - http://tr.im/Night0711

3) Free music ish… this mix DJ Fashen. He’s gonna be in PDX at the end of the month. It would probably be a good idea to go and see him. Especially because the party is free! (more info soon) - http://www.mediafire.com/?jndqyo2noud

4) The ridiculousness that is this weekend!! … Events in this city get better and better – drink tastings, costume parties, bike rides, fashion shows, house parties, barbq’s, dance nights, concerts and tons more! This weekend, less than an hour outside of the city there are quite a few interesting events happening which surely prove that Portland is not the only spot in Oregon keeping it weird… check out events like Turkeyrama, Mt. Hood Loop Cherry Festival, The Buckeroo Rodeo, The Sasquatch Festival, Glow in the Dark Tag and so much more!

5) And speaking of ‘close but outside the city’ events, next weekend is EMRG+N+SEE. The full festival will be ridiculous (check emrgnsee.com to get all the details on who is playing on which stage, where to camp, what’s up with the giant swimming hole and the sauna and all the other stuff that goes on during the weekend), but the good folks organizing the event hooked LifeisaParty up with a Single Day Sunday Pass (you can get one for $55) to GIVEAWAY to YOU! Well, maybe to you. We are giving it to the person that tells us the best reason why we should give them a free ticket to see Flying Lotus, Blockhead, Gift Of Gab (of Blackalicious), Daedelus, Lilla D’Mone & The Brazilian Lions and everyone else playing July 19^th. Respond with something creative and we’ll give you the magic ticket!

Life is a party, everyone is just waiting to be invited.

This list is growing by leaps and bounds. Turn to the person next to you and see if they are reading the same email. If not, forward it to them and tell them to join the community.

See you all out and about!
