This weekend boasts two sweet little events flying under the radar—both possessing that awesome “only in Portland” vibe.

1. At 12:30 pm Saturday, Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney fame will perform a half-hour solo show at Buckman Elementary, Portland’s coolest elementary school. (How many other schools get Corin Tucker to play on the weekends?) It’s Buckman’s big Art Show & Sale, which has all kinds of musicians and food and art and stuff, but it’s only $2 to get in Saturday, and like I said—Corin Tucker at 12:30.

2. The fine folks at Red76 are hosting a “Nuclear War” party—which means that anyone in the world is welcome to stop by and perform a cover version of Sun Ra’s Nuclear War. The show starts at 7 (load your gear at 5 if you’re performing) at some old Chinatown space, 520 NW Davis. (Call 503.544.3317 if the door is stuck. It’s apparently sticky.)

There you go. That’s a lot of curious fun for a total of $2.
