Since many of our cell phones, computers and DVD players thought last week was the end of Daylight Savings Time, most of us are ready for the leap back.
The end of daylight savings always seems like a bonus when you're out on the night the clocks jump back. If you're the type to close down bars, someone inevitably says "don't we have another hour to drink?"
Which you would, possibly, if bars were open later. As it is, the clock jumps back at 2 p.m....which we all know is when you should be asleep. Right?
It's First Friday tonight, so get things going by checking out your favorite galleries in downtown Portland.
NYC hip hop group Hangar 18 are in town tonight at the Asylum on tour for their new album "Sweep The Leg." Best. Name. Ever. ANYWAY, they'll be getting a local assist from Graymatter and Brzowski. The show begins at 9 p.m. and tickets are $10.
Speaking of touring - Conifer is preparing to hit the road and have its way with the East Coast, and they've got Lesbian along for the ride. Tonight they kick things off at Geno's starting at 9 p.m.
SATURDAY
Get a weekend dose of electronica for your beat fixation tonight over at the White Heart. DJ Mayonnaise and Alias are at the helm and are always looking to please. Show starts at 9 p.m.
The reliably smooth and funky Adam and the Waxmen are lighting things up at Bubba's tonight starting at 9 p.m. But more curious is the evening's other act, something called Adam Ocean and the Line of Lucid. Sounds like a B-Movie best viewed in 3D, but most likely an amalgam of some of Portland's best bands. Hmmmmm....
Finally, your video love of the week comes from British comedian Peter Serafinowicz and the people at College Humor.
We all have problems cleaning up at home, and sometimes Oxy Clean just can't get out all those kitchen stains. Spilled stale beer? Failed beef stew? What you need is the Kitchen Gun!
Justin is a former newspaper intern and has the scar tissue to prove
it. Justin has been a staff writer for the Portland Press Herald/Maine
Sunday Telegram since 2003, and in 2004 began writing a weekly column in the
Monday Magazine.
If he had to pick a label, the column would fall under "youth culture,"
covering everything from high school dance etiquette, dealing with college
debt, the resurgence of Roller Derby and Portland's one-of-a-kind music
scene. This of course has not stopped him from answering letters to Santa
Claus or writing about his experience riding shotgun in a drift car.
Justin is an export from the Midwest. He is a graduate of the University of
Missouri and is originally from Minnesota. He enjoys bacon, cheap beer,
redheads, Burt Reynolds jokes and wondering what the soundtrack to his life
would sound like.
When he grows up he wants to be an international art thief. Or Captain
America.
Until then he'll be bringing you dispatches about "the young people" and
what they do.
