Conversational Lube – The first LIVE comedy dating show!! 21 & Over
McMenamins Presents: Conversational Lube – The first LIVE comedy dating show!! 21 and over. Friday, February 13th, 2026 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!

There’s no one better to pay homage than the PNW’s ultimate Grateful Dead tribute, and this is a show that will resonate with both Dead fans and patrons of our historic venue. — Garcia Birthday Band, based in Portland Oregon, isn’t your mother’s Grateful Dead cover band. Playing for over 20 years, GBB has evolved into something far deeper than the sum of its parts. The beating heart of the Pacific Northwest’s GD community, the band’s ever-expanding fanbase is an experience unto themselves. Using the Dead’s repertoire as a springboard for limitless potential and improvisation, Garcia Birthday Band are a cornerstone of the modern Grateful Dead universe, and their fans have come to expect the unexpected as the norm. Placing no boundaries on eras of the Dead’s career or catalogue, and drawing on decades of individual and shared experience, GBB play the music through an auditory kaleidoscope. Composed of some of the most ace players of the Oregon live music community, the band makes every show an act of exploration, both musically and spiritually. United hearts and minds blur the line between the stage and crowd – a carnival of human potential. If you’re new to Garcia Birthday Band, their doors are always open, and you’ll recognize it as something familiar when you first walk in: a place called home.

The Olson Bros Band + Nick Cain
with Juno Men and Jes Anderson Official Tickets: Etix/Cascade Tickets is the official ticketing source and partner of the Spanish Ballroom. The Olson Bros Band Hailing from Olympia, Washington, The Olson Bros Band is a powerhouse country duo led by singer-songwriters and brothers Luke and Isaac Olson. Known for their tight harmonies, high-energy performances, and heartfelt storytelling, the brothers burst onto the national scene in 2013 after winning a national songwriting competition with their breakout original “Sunrise.” Nick Cain At 39 years old, Nick Cain’s life took an unplanned but welcome detour that changed everything he knew about passion and determination. It began at The Gorge in Eastern Washington, at a country music fest – Watershed – that strummed the strings of his heart just as much as those of the guitar he would pick up following the event in 2019. With no musical background to speak of, Nick dove headfirst into the melodies and rhythms of country music, dedicating every possible moment to self-taught sessions that echoed through the basement of his home.
