Events It's Happening Tonight!

DONATE!—Before their country was devastated by a colossal earthquake, Haiti was already the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Tonight's much needed benefit show features Portland's music elite—Thomas Lauderdale of Pink Martini, Storm Large, and plenty more—banding together with a goal to raise $25,000 for Mercy Corps. If you still have yet to text "HAITI" to 90999, or just want to do more, here is your chance. EAC
w/Portland Cello Project, Janice Scroggins, Cool Nutz, Holcombe Waller & more; Aladdin Theater, 3017 SE Milwaukie, 7:30 pm, $30

STRIPPERS AND FIREARMS—It's Paideia Week at Reed College, in which any student or alum can teach a free class, resulting in everything from tonight's modern firearms training seminar to the economics of stripping class on Saturday, led by a stripper and certified tax preparer. (Oh, and that class is also a bike ride, in case you forgot you were in Portland.) SM
Reed College, 3203 SE Woodstock, through Sun Jan 24, full schedule

You'll have time to sleep when you're asleep. Until then... My, What a Busy Week!

And if you can't get in to the Haiti show, Hotter Than A Crotch is playing at Plan B. They describe themselves as "Campy Soul-Singer Punk For Awkward Horny People."

They know us so well, Bogtown commentors! And Merc staff, come to think of it...

About the last thing you should have at Reed is firearms, even if you can find the 3 students who are'nt drunk, high on coke or hitting tree harder than Sonny Bono. The Stripper class is a great idea-after all they're going to need a job eventually especially if the trust fund runs out. They can't all be drug dealers or Mercury staffers you know
