FUN ADDLED—Like some hopped-up teenager who just discovered rock 'n' roll and jazz cigarettes, tonight's lineup for Make it Pop! is going to blow your mind. The annual benefit for PDX Pop Now! features Decemberists brigadier Colin Meloy, the Alialujah Choir, and more—plus there'll be an auction, cupcakes, beer, and ice cream... it's like being set loose in a candy shop!

w/Ah Holly Fam'ly, Musee Mecanique, DJ Jeremy Petersen; the Cleaners at the Ace Hotel, 403 SW 10th, 6:30 pm, $35, all ages
ENDANGERED—Artist Melody Owen asked contributors like Carson Ellis, Nick Jaina, and Kevin Sampsell to choose a topic from the Red List—a list of endangered and vulnerable plants and animals—and explore it in whatever manner they chose. The results are compiled in The Disappearing Book and showcased at tonight's art show, which features original pieces from the book. AH
