BIKES—A yearly showcase of the city's best handmade bikes has now morphed into a showcase of the city's best handmade bikes, plus bike-themed local beer, and local bands. We hemmed and hawed—has the Handmade Bike and Beer Festival delved too deeply into Portland's self-congratulatory obsessions?—before deciding that it sounds awesome. DIRK VANDERHART

MUSIC—It's the mightiest music fest of the year, Project Pabst! And it comes with a home run of a lineup for the first day of the outdoor festivities: Tears for Fears, Red Fang, Violent Femmes, Phosphorescent (PAUSE TO GASP FOR BREATH), Rocket from the Crypt, Guantanamo Baywatch, and more. Dear god, how much entertainment can one person take? Oh, how about Modest Mouse and GZA tomorrow?! WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
