McMenamins Presents: Conversational Lube – The first LIVE comedy dating show!! 21 and over. Friday, December 26th, 2025 7:00PM Al’s Den under the Crystal Hotel303 SW 12 AvePortland, Oregon 97209 CONVERSATIONAL LUBE: The first LIVE comedy dating show!! 91.5% of first dates suck purely because of awkward, dull, boring conversations. Conversational Lube is here to FIX that. You’re invited to the FIRST real time, live comedy dating show!! Singles will be matched, meet for the first time, then join a comedian on stage (the lube) to have a first date! YES, we will be putting audience members on BLIND DATES in real time at the show! That means YOU, yes, YOU can come and possibly find your soul mate! (Or at the very least go home with a funny af story.) Each couple will have a date on the stage and be joined by a licensed professional* (*fully unlicensed comedian) to LUBE up the conversation to make sure it flows, is entertaining, and fully capitalize on any weird shit that comes up. (The last part mostly for the sake of the audience and laughs.) Hosted by stand up comedian and writer, Cait Chock, who is single for MANY reasons but NOT because she can’t dazzle a first conversation. She shines in a first impression then actively decay like a free radical. She’s a lost cause but she’s using her conversational skills to help YOU find love! We may not guarantee you find love but we DO guarantee it will be a helluva lot more fun than another boring and slightly deranged tinder meet-up. ALL are welcomed, even you monsters already happily in love can come, eat, drink, laugh, and watch the rest of us squirm! Apps suck. Approaching strangers in the wild is scary. Hitting on your Trader Joe’s cashier is not cool. A comedy show is your best bet! Don’t settle down shitty, boring, vanilla conversations…apply conversational lube. Check us out on Instagram @conversationallube and slide into those DMs if you’re a single looking to be set up on a future show!

Magic Castles
Thursday November 6th 2025 8pmAll Ages | Doors 7pmMission Theater1624 NW Glisan StPortland, OR 97209 with Pink Breath of Heaven, Flavor Crystals, and Pete International Airport Magic CastlesMagic Castles are a neo-psychedelic band from Minneapolis MN, formed in the late 2000s by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jason Edmonds. Their music is characterized by lush, layered arrangements and warm vocal harmonies. Utilizing an arsenal of vintage amps, guitars and farfisa organs, their style draws from folk-rock influences of the late 60s, while also incorporating elements of shoegaze and modern indie rock. Their song “Ballad of the Golden Bird” caught the attention of Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and led to their signing with A Recordings Ltd, culminating in four albums from 2012-2022 Pete International Airport Pete International Airport is the brain child of Peter G. Holmström. Its name is borrowed from a song title by his other band, The Dandy Warhols. Pete International Airport’s third album, It Felt Like the End of the World, is a triumph of process and vision. The eclectic project nails the elusive aesthetic of unexpected yet inviting sound. Flavor Crystals Flavor Crystals are a Minneapolis guitar band creating head music of the highest order . Josh Richardson on guitar/vocals, Nat Stensland on bass VI, Vince Caro on guitar, Jon Menke on drums, together create a unique brand of psychedelia that is minimal and spontaneous at its core, producing a steady flow of ethereal songs, mind bending albums and inspired live performances. Flavor Crystals have performed across the US, Canada, Australia and Europe in support of The Brian Jonestown Massacre (2008) and at festivals such as Levitation/Austin Psych Fest (2014 and 2016), Reverence Valada Portugal (2015), Psycho Las Vegas (2016 and 2021), Synesthesie II Berlin (2015), Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia (2015) and the Sydney/Melbourne Psych Fests (2018) . Pink Breath of Heaven Pink Breath of Heaven is the visionary project of Liv Field and Rex John Shelverton (Tamaryn), blending shimmering guitars, haunting melodies, and introspective lyricism. Their sound merges the lush textures of shoegaze with the boundless energy of psychedelia, crafting immersive landscapes where color and emotion collide. Following the breakout success of Blue Is the Morning, they have performed alongside The Dandy Warhols, LSD and the Search for God, Alison’s Halo, and Ulrika Spacek, becoming a force in San Francisco’s psych-rock underground. Their debut album, Colors Make a Sound, distills this intensity into a cohesive work that cements the band as a singular voice in contemporary psych and shoegaze. — We will follow all state and local Covid-19 guidelines in place at the time of each show.
