UNDERGROUND COMIX—The new Jack London Bar (located downstairs at the Rialto) invites all funnybook lovers to their Comics Underground night, featuring booze, comic artists Jim Hill and Sarah Oleksyk, booze, Jeff Parker and Erika Moen, creators of the hipster mystery comic Bucko, booze, and Mercury hosts Alison Hallett and Erik Henriksen! (And booze.) WSH
Jack London Bar, 529 SW 4th, 7:30 pm, FREE

BIKE NOIR—In one of Pedalpalooza's most inspired rides, the Working Theatre Collective stages a film noir-inspired show in various, bike-accessible locations around industrial Portland, and invites audiences to pedal along. AH
Ride begins at WTF Bikes, 1114 SE Clay, Thurs-Sun 6:30 pm, FREE (donations accepted)

I have stuff to say about both of these events.

1. The full lineup for the comics event Erik and I are hosting tonight at the Jack London is Jeff Parker and Erika Moen, presenting Bucko; I Cut My Hair creator Lisa Eisenberg, showing short, funny pieces; Sarah Oleksyk, reading from her great YA graphic novel Ivy; and Jim Hill bringing the zombies with Dead Don't Die. We've also got a few special guests doing voices, including Kirk from Trek in the Park. The show is in the new Jack London bar in the basement of the Rialto, which I think is going to be great for readings and artsy events in the future. Doors at 7:30 pm, show at 8.

2. I also want to double-vouch for the WTC's Bike Noir. This company is young, earnest, and increasingly accomplished; I've never made it to one of their bike plays, but I'm hoping to catch this one. They do good work.
