Friday Night 11/21:
Will Durst at the Tower Theatre

The Sofa Kings
friday 21
You've likely seen MC Mystic behind
the turntables as well as the microphone, but most don't know the dude
can also play the drums like nobody's business. He'll show off his
beatkeeping prowess with this new band, the Sofa Kings, the
female-fronted outfit that's debuting at the newly reopened Pyro Lounge
at the Old Mill Martini Bar. That's a pretty clever name for a venue
that was closed due to a fire not too long ago. 9pm. Pyro Lounge at The
Old Mill Martini Bar, 360 SW Powerhouse Dr.

We may never know whether Oregon's new senator-elect voted for or against letting renegade Sen. Joe Lieberman keep his key committee chairmanship. But Merkley's office made it clear to Huffington Post blogger Sam Stein that Merkley wasn't happy about it.
Wandering around downtown Bend the other day, The Eye dropped in at a local business we have been patronizing for the past five years or so and asked whether the local real estate bust and the national Great George W. Bush Depression were affecting business.
