Comparatively speaking in regards to the rest of the west coast, it’s cold as shit outside. Since most of us have been schlepping around our respective abodes in snow day sweatpants attire, it’s time to put on our finest doodads for a night that’s sure to be less dramatic than the ones back in grade school. Say hello to yet another year of Tender Loving Empire’s Winter Formal.
TLE doesn’t disappoint, and this year’s lineup continues in their good holiday faith. Rap Class will be up first, setting a lasting ambiance with his moody yet movement-inducing electronic sounds. With the voice of a soulful angel and enough rhythm to make anyone scream "okurrr!," Maarquii will be giving everyone some much needed life before that cumbia kicks in and gets everyone all sweaty, thanks to Orquestra Pacifico Tropical.
We’re all in need of dancing away this shitty year and TLE’s Winter Formal allows us to do so while still spreading some Christmas spirit. The dance is a toy drive for the Portland Fire & Rescue Toy & Joy Makers, so come out this Saturday with $10 and a toy (or $20 and no toy, as half of that will serve as donation). Come dressed at least mildly to impress, hit up the onsite photobooth and turn up for the season!
