    Seeing I'll be there for a week.

    Probably will check out the festival of lights @ the Grotto. I'll hit up a blazer game. Lunch and dinners with friends from high school. Family crap.

    Hit the town to party it up too.

    What else is going on?

    Actually, that all sounds pretty darn nice.

    At the Hollywood theatre is a play about a 1944 WWII Christmas radio program. I saw it last year and had a good time. You may like it too.

    The Pearl District is always on, Pioneer Courthouse Square to see the tree.

    The Pioneer Courthouse Square tree was kind of weak. I was actually there when they were lighting it up.

    I mean it was a really cool ceremony when they were lighting I thought it wasn't really decorated all that extravagantly. The malls here in LA have nicer trees for some reason. I thought it would be because the homeless might steal the decorations?

    Seems like there have been multiple SantaCons this year...or splinter groups or something. There were a couple drunk Santas at Blitz Pearl last week when I played there...and there were apparently a bunch of drunk Santas at Calabash on Monday...weird...we're being overrun.

    I stayed at The Nines last week on a guys' weekend. Let's just say we didn't spend any time in Pioneer Courthouse Square.

    Check out Departure on the 15th floor of The Nines, though. It was worth it, and being from LA, you'll appreciate it.

    What about Museums?

    Is the OMSI Dinosaur exhibit worth checking out?

    What about the Oregon History Museum? Haven't been there since I was in kindergarten I think.

    Forrestry Center?

    Art?

    THIS SATURDAY:

    Cool Nutz, Chicharones, Illmaculate, Ray Ray of G-ism, Tope and Epp, Eternal Family, DJ Fatboy
    [PDX-HOP INSTITUTION] Cool Nutz has had one hell of a career, and one of the best things about his 15-plus years in the game is that the Portland MC seems to be doing nothing but picking up momentum. This show marks the release of the first mixtape from his Northwest Breakout radio show, which is proving a productive side project while he solidifies tracks for his eighth LP, Incredible, due in mid-February. With a likelihood of hearing some killer advance tracks, a stable of PDX hip-hop artists to back it up and the promise of an above average digital mixtape, there are definitely worse ways to fill the doldrums between Christmas and New Year’s. SHANE DANAHER. 9 pm. Ash Street Saloon, 225 SW Ash St., 226-0430. $10. Map

    lol wow. Cool Nutz is the worst rapper there is in Portland. He makes the Portland scene look terrible. There are SO many better rappers than Jus Family Records in Portland.

    :sigh:

    He used to post on hoopsworld. He may not be the best but he was certainly one of the innovators in bringing hiphop to the Rose City back in the early 90s.
