are there any cool art/architecture/design exhibits or other general points of interest in portland oregon this first weekend in october?

i'll be there the 1st through the evening of the 4th.

i need to pad up my schedule between getting a hip haircut at bishops and rocking out at the mouse on mars/fly pan am/mono/junior boys/ratatat gig.

I don't know of any offhand.. there's rarely any cool architecture stuff going on, but you can check the websites of the weekly papers to see what's listed. They have art exhibits, music, movies (the usual stuff)

willamette week comes out on wednesdays, and

the mercury comes out on thursdays

they generally have the same stuff listed, but I'd say the mercury is more likely to have more "underground" or edgy stuff, if you're interested.

I do know there is a show by olympia artist nikki mcclure at justbe/compound She does some pretty awesome stuff with and xacto knife. oops ends at the end of the month.. sorry.. it's got a pretty cool design store anyway.

crillwazzy, the mercury comes out on Thursdays.

Cameron,

I don't know if they have the boards for that comp up anywhere physically, but they have all the entries on their website for all to see. First Thursday will be next Thursday, sadly for stephanie.

I did see they're having a big art exhibition at the jupiter hotel (E Burnside) this weekend. I can't remember where I saw that though..
