FRIDAY MAY 31


WE STILL LOVE FRIDAYS

As long as Chris Field is doin' his skit-skat brotha'-man dance, the party is on! The crowd here is always hyped about house, making it feel like you're in on the kinda good thing that everyone else is missing. Charles Linhoss and Chris Field DJ tonight. The Corner Bar, Second & Pine St, 625-4444, 9 pm-2 am, $5.


SATURDAY JUNE 1


LIFE

Tonight check out deep, soulful house featuring Kaskade of Om Records with support from Jon Lemmon and Fabian Luna. Tip of the evening: Order a double when you get to the bar so you can spend more of your precious time drinkin' and dancin', then thank me for the tip by buying me one too. The Baltic Room, 1207 Pine St, 625-4444, 9 pm-2 am, $10.


SUNDAY JUNE 2


YO, SON

Chop Suey is throwing a Sunday-night hiphop party, so now there's no excuse for you lazy bastards who won't leave the Hill. DJs Scene and DV1 will be spinning low-class, cracked-out beats. You can even wear sneakers and a hat and not get hassled!! Chop Suey, 1325 E Madison, 324-8000, 9 pm-2 am, $3.


MONDAY JUNE 3


FAREWELL BROKEN BEATS!!!

Mad props and respect to EVERYONE who was involved in keeping this night going strong for the past two-plus years, consistently representing the Northwest's sickest breakin' and hiphop, hands down. This party was a Monday-night sanctuary for so many people, but if you really love something, you gotta set it free. Nation, 1921 Fifth Ave, 374-9492, 9 pm-2 am, $5.


TUESDAY JUNE 4


ELIXIR

House music and Manray--it doesn't get any gayer than that, folks!! If you wanna hear some great DJs in a space that's clean enough to sip your drink off the floor, this is it. Manray, 514 Pine St, 568-0750, free.
