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!
