new in town: Mississippi Studios

Hey kids, get your fake IDs ready because there's a new venue in town! Despite their ridiculous and uncouth 21+ policy, it seems to be worth some investigative effort. Newly renovated with a seating capacity of 150 and a standing capacity of 250 (apparently you can fit in nearly 50% more people if everyone just stands up, a pretty nifty party trick), Mississippi Studios' grand reopening celebration takes place on Wednesday, March 4, at 3939 N Mississippi (7 pm to midnight, free). Bands will include Weinland, Rebecca Gates, Pete Krebs, the Dimes, James Low, Chris Robley, Stephanie Schneiderman, Lewi Longmire, and Portland Cello Project. To find out more visit MississippiStudious and if you're not as broke as I am and can afford a ticket (about $15) visit their BoxOffice.
