SALEM Pipeline

We’re going down the rabbit hole into a frenzy of acoustic storyland fun at The Great Idea Friday throughout the Enchanted Forest. More than 40 bands perform during the 8 hour event organized by The Space. More traditional fun is offered at Homer Davenport days and the Yamhill County Fair throughout the weekend. And for the truly nostalgic, Air Supply resurrects the 80′s cause we’re all out of love on Friday at Spirit Mountain Casino.

Who said nothing happens in August?

Too much fun going on this weekend. The under-the-radar weekend rave, EMRG+N+SEE returns to Salem with the west coast’s foremost trance party. And, in addition to the Salem Art Fair, 800 bad-ass white collar bikers will be in town for Good Vibrations, a mid-valley wide party on two wheels. And if that’s not enough, there’s plenty-o-rama at the fairgrounds with Cherry City Bombers Rust-O-Rama, Cherry City Derby Girls Roller Rama and the Pretty Things Peepshow. Just when you thought things couldn’t get any hotter in Salem!

There will plenty of fireworks in all directions this weekend for your colorful Fourth of July. Salem, McMinnville, Willamina, Independence, Keizer, Silverton and Corvallis are some of the patriotic towns that will host celebrations. Each has their own character, so get there early and enjoy the show.

This year marks the 75th St. Paul Rodeo, one of the best in the nation, going on all weekend.  Don’t forget to stop in under the bleachers after the show.

The Wasteland hosts a high energy punk show not to be missed Saturday with Gruk, Adelitas, The Wobblies and The Angries. This is Gruk’s farewell tour and they’ll have plenty of help with some great local acts.

Have a memorable weekend and don’t forget to play it safe with your fireworks!

Okay, who missed the memo about nothing happening in town? Because this weekend we have way too much fun going on. Friday night brings us a match made in purgatory – Kaddy Wumpus and The Skunky Bunch at the Triangle. The Wine Walk downtown starts at Coffee House Cafe and there’s more late night mayhem at Westside Station with Just the Tip. And what are we going to choose Saturday? The infamous Gemini Party is celebrating over a decade of merriment at the Miller Ranch. Matty, Kid Espi and crew are taking over Coffee House with world-class hip hop. And the Cafe Noir Annex finally cleared the permitting process and will bust open the new digs with Bold Riley, Spiral and Gobel Warming. For the free speech-minded, the Oregon Freedom Festival goes on all day Saturday with Hollie Pollock closing.
Then Sunday, Norman entertains us with an outdoor concert at Mission Mill.
How can this be topped? With an all out visual assault by Oakland’s Can-Cannibals on Wednesday. The Space is rolling out the splatter mats for a once in a lifetime show with the queens of raunch burlesque and Squirmin Hermans, Potatoe Famine are adding to the fun.

Too wild? Then stop by ƒ/stop Fitzgerald’s for the pastie-making afterparty to catch the troupe in a more relaxed environment and pick up a few crafting tips.

The only downer this weekend is the news that The Space lost round one of their noise complaint appeal. Stay-tuned for the next step, because there will definitely be one.

Looking for a conversation starter at Mother’s day Brunch this weekend? Take mom to the Imperial Grand Opening Party at ƒ/stop Fitzgerald’s Friday and Share a pint of Gilgamesh brew. Billed as Salem’s best underground pub by Statesman Journal’s K. Williams Brown, the ƒ/stop features a fire pit, screening room and local beer for your enjoyment.

For some up and coming artists, the Coffee House Cafe is hosting Emerge Oregon Art Series Friday in the back room with 3 djs and Find Your Smile. Also on Friday, there’s a great line up at the Ike Box with The Slants, Madrigals, Massive Moth joining Hosannas (formerly Church) for their cd release party.

Surely you’ll have some interesting things to talk about with mum on Sunday.
