Posted by Alison Hallett on Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 1:59 PM
DEADITE DELIGHT—What could be better than watching The Evil Dead for the 6,666th time? Going to the theater to watch it for the first time. With a splatter zone... and songs about chainsaws... and demon dancing at Evil Dead: The Musical. I think I had a dream about this once—a wonderful, wonderful dream where I gave Ash some sugar. CF
Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell, Thurs 8 pm, Fri & Sat 7 & 10 pm, $25-30, all ages
TAKING YOU DOWN TO CHINATOWN—The Dill Pickle Club celebrates the release of its fifth Oregon History Comic, The Streets of Chinatown, with a free (in-depth) chat about the current state of the neighborhood featuring community leaders like Henry Sakamoto and Mary Leong. Bonus! The Mercury's own Sarah Mirk not only wrote the comic but also will be moderating the discussion. (No, it won't be about bicycles.) DCT
Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center, 121 NW 2nd, 5 pm, FREE
