MONDAY

FILM

Do The Right Thing Past Event List
One of the best scenes in one of the best movies of the remarkable year 1989, Do the Right Thing, concerns something we are now very familiar with, gentrification. Set on a hot summer day in Brooklyn, the scene goes like this: Black Buggin Out (played by Giancarlo Esposito) gets accidentally run into by white Clifton (played by John Savage), who is wearing a Larry Bird top and leaves a mark on Buggin Out’s brand-new white Air Jordans. Buggin Out: 'Who told you to step on my sneakers? Who told you to walk on my side of the block? Who told you to be in my neighborhood?' Clifton: 'I own this brownstone.' Buggin Out: 'Who told you to buy a brownstone on my block, in my neighborhood, on my side of the street? Yo, what you wanna live in a Black neighborhood for, anyway? Man, motherfuck gentrification.' Then Buggin Out asks: 'Why don’t you move back to Massachusetts?' Clifton: 'I was born in Brooklyn!' STRANGER SENIOR WRITER CHARLES MUDEDE

READINGS & TALKS

Lola Milholland in Conversation With Margarett Waterbury Past Event List
Writer, social practice artist, and Umi Organic noodle-maker Lola Milholland tells the story of her colorful upbringing in Portland's Holman House in Group Living and Other Recipes. The book "recounts Milholland's childhood in the nineties, [as] the child of iconoclastic hippies...[who] threw open the doors of their rambling house to long-term visitors and unusual guests." Milholland's early experience of communal living led to "transcendent meals and ecstatic parties," which is more than I can say for most of my roommate experiences, so I'm listening! She'll chat about the book with Margarett Waterbury, the editor-in-chief of Distiller who penned Scotch: A Complete Introduction to Scotland’s Whiskies. LC
(Powell's City of Books, Pearl District)

WEDNESDAY

FILM

Church of Film: Soviet Sci-Fi Animation Past Event List
If you frequently read EverOut's roundups, you may have noticed that I'm a big fan of Church of Film, a supernatural cinema program that centers stories of the occult, folktales, anarchy, communism, queerness, and all things magical. CoF keeps the good times rolling with this program of hypnotic flicks by sci-fi animator Vladimir Tarasov pulled from the catalog of the Soviet Union's "great animation studio, Soyuzmultfilm." Show up to celebrate one of Portland's weirdest, most beloved cinema treasures, and get an eyeful of utopian futurism, too. LC
(Clinton Street Theater, Hosford-Abernethy)

LIVE MUSIC

Music on Main 2024 Past Event List
The Schnitz's free block party-esque summer music series is back for its 17th year with an impressive program of local talent performing in the middle of Main Street. The series will continue this week with a performance from the zydecoensemble Too Loose Cajun Band. AV
(Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, South Park Blocks)

Sleater-Kinney with Amyl and the Sniffers Past Event List
PNW rock royalty Sleater-Kinney will stop by Portland to support their latest album Little Rope. The cathartic, post-punk-driven album tackles personal and national grief with nods to the loss of Brownstein's parents and the overturn of Roe v. Wade. In a statement from the band, Brownstein writes, "We’re always mixing the personal and the political but on this record, despite obviously thinking so much about politics, we were really thinking about the person—ourselves or versions of ourselves or iterations of depression or loneliness—in the middle of the chaos.” Aussie pub rock band Amyl and the Sniffers will open. AV
(Pioneer Courthouse Square, Downtown)

THURSDAY

LIVE MUSIC

2024 Americana Harvest Fest Past Event List
This year, Topaz Farm is amping up its Americana Harvest Fest series with a mix of nationally and internationally renowned folk, country, and bluegrass artists on Thursday nights until the end of August. Bring your own blanket or lawn chair to lounge on the pastoral farm surrounded by farm animals, fruit fields, freshly grilled food, and a beer garden. The series continues this week with a distinctive blend of folk, country, R&B, and rock tunes from New Orleans-based artist Riley Downing. AV
(Topaz Farm, Sauvie Island)

Romy Presents Club Mid Air Past Event List
Romy Madley Croft, best known for her work as a guitarist and vocalist for dream pop band The xx, released her solo debut album Mid Air in 2023. Drawing inspiration from late-90s electro-pop favorites like Everything but the Girl, the album is a love letter to the gay clubs she attended growing up with atmospheric beats and queer-centric lyricism. Croft will transform the Wonder Ballroom into Club Mid Air with a performance of the album from front to back. AV
(Wonder Ballroom, Eliot)

St. Vincent with Spoon Past Event List
Patron saint of art rock St. Vincent will support her seventh album, All Born Screaming, which features appearances from rockstars Dave Grohl, Cate Le Bon, Josh Freese (of the Vandals, Devo, and Foo Fighters), Stella Mozgawa (of Warpaint), and David Ralicke (of Dengue Fever). The album is dark, experimental, and a little bit unsettling, courtesy of her experimentation with microdosing psychedelics while songwriting. “[They’ve] been a REAL personal gamechanger,” she told DIY. “I don’t think drugs help me work [but] if it can help me see this thing a little differently…a giant iced coffee and a little microdose, then I’m off to the races.” Don't miss an opening set from Texan indie rock heavies Spoon. AV
(Hayden Homes Amphitheater, Bend)

FRIDAY

COMEDY

Kickstand Comedy In The Park Past Event List
Kickstand Comedy's hugely popular Comedy in the Park series has returned, hitting Laurelhurst Park on most Fridays through September 6. Grab your pals with a sense of humor and drop your blankets early—the free stand-up show has been known to draw crowds of 4,000 or more. The plus side of the bonkers crowd is the unmatched dog-watching; I'm a fan of Laurelhurst duck-watching, too. This Friday, a lineup of much-loved funnybones will head to the stage after local laughers Rachelle Cochran and Julia Corral get the crowd going. LC
(Laurelhurst Park, Laurelhurst)

FILM

Bottoms w/ Jiu Jitsu Demo by the Traction Project Past Event List
Considering the glut of raunchy high school sex comedies that revolved around hetero teen boys attempting to pop their cherries in the '90s and early-aughts, it's about time we had a horny romp about queer girls trying to get laid. In this madcap dark comedy helmed by Emma Seligman (director of the nail-biter Shiva Baby), two hapless losers (played by Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri) scheme to start a self-defense club for women in order to hook up with their cheerleader crushes (Havana Rose Liu and Kaia Gerber). Naturally, hilarity ensues. It's Book Smart meets Fight Club with acerbic shades of Heathers. Coolest part of this screening? Scout Tran, a purple belt in Brazilian jiujitsu, will deliver a live jiujitsu demo before the movie. JB
(Tomorrow Theater, Richmond)

CULT SENSATION: POLYESTER! (Violet Hex Presents) Past Event List
While a frustrated housewife attempts to retain her sanity, her porn theater-owning husband sleeps around and her teenaged children engage in various forms of delinquency. Violet Hex's Cult Sensation, a queer celebration of cult cinema, will kick off this screening of John Waters' filthy freak fest Polyester (starring the singular Divine) with a superstar-filled drag show. Turn up for Marla Darling as Cuddles, Tingles Van Pelt as Todd Tomorrow, and Wolfgang X as Dexter Fishpaw, and wear a Waters-inspired look for the chance to win a sickening prize. LC
(Clinton Street Theater, Hosford-Abernethy)

SATURDAY

FILM

Babes BFF BOGO Past Event List
Quick, sardonic script-flipper Michelle Buteau holds her own amid the current pack of aging dude comics bickering over whether human rights are funny, and Ilana Glazer is rapidly becoming a legendary millennial freak. (Yes, the batshit angel from Broad City still exists, she's still hilarious, and she's spoken up about the genocide in Gaza. Try to keep up!) It's only natural that the two should join forces in Babes, the one-night-stand comedy and directorial debut from Pamela Adlon, aka the voice of Bobby on King of the Hill. Women rock!! This "BFF BOGO" bonanza means when you buy a ticket, you'll also receive one for a friend. Nearby bar The End will serve up a "BFF drink special," and if all of that isn't cute enough for you, friendship bracelets will also be up for grabs. LC
(Tomorrow Theater, Richmond)

DRIVE + Desire & Johnny Jewel Past Event List
At the risk of making us all feel ancient, Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive might be considered a modern classic—the neo-noir was largely responsible for the neon-lit, synthwave-inflected, retro-futurist aesthetic that dominated in the early 2010s. This screening of the film demands you wear your satin scorpion jacket, because composer Johnny Jewel and Desire, the band responsible for the film's infectious theme, will perform and offer a Q&A session. LC
(Hollywood Theatre, Hollywood District)

How to Sue The Klan: The BLACK Gallery and Don't Shoot Portland Past Event List
Did you know that Black August has been observed since the '70s, honoring Black political prisoners and those fighting against oppression? This screening of the short documentary How to Sue The Klan is being organized by the BLACK Gallery and doubles as a fundraiser for Don't Shoot Portland, so it's a concrete way to show your support for Black liberation. The historical doc spotlights five Black women from Chattanooga who used legal creativity to sue the KKK in 1982. Keen to learn more? Set an appointment with a BLACK Gallery docent to see Resistance Is Happening Now: Archiving the Black Lives Matter Movementwhich "features protest photography spanning over a decade of community action alongside evidential documents illuminating the pervasive inequalities within American society’s structures and institutions." LC
(Clinton Street Theater, Hosford-Abernethy)

FOOD & DRINK

Rising Tide Wine Fest Past Event List
Elk Cove Vineyards, the first vineyard and winery in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, will shine a light on a variety of lesser-known, under-the-radar local wine producers—most don't even have their own tasting room, so you'll be tasting some exclusive offerings. Plus, DJ Jimbo will set the mood with a breezy yacht rock soundtrack, while food vendors like Renegade and Los Kopitos will provide nourishment. Should you be in the mood for a melty, toasty treat, 1927 S'mores Company will be present in honor of National S'mores Day. JB
(Elk Cove Vineyards, Gaston)

LIVE MUSIC

Olivia Rodrigo Past Event List
Olivia Rodrigo rose to fame over the pandemic with the release of her breakup anthem "Driver’s License" and subsequent debut album, Sour. Her powerful vocals, relatable vulnerability, and effortless cool-girl style set a new standard for her fellow Gen Z pop stars. While I thoroughly enjoyed Sour, her sophomore album hit me even harder. GUTS is angry, witty, nostalgic, and could easily soundtrack a '90s teen movie. Rodrigo harnesses the wrath of Hole, the vocal gymnastics of Fiona Apple, and the dance-worthy basslines of the Breeders while never coming off as an inferior copy. AV
(Moda Center, Lloyd District)

Tinariwen Past Event List
A collective of Tuareg singers, songwriters, and musicians hailing from the Sahara Desert, Tinariwen plays music often categorized as "desert blues." The group comes together in different configurations for live performances and in the studio and has been called "music's true rebels" by NPR. They will support their 2023 album, Amatssou, which was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic in a mobile studio set up at Tassili N’Ajjer National Park. AV
(Crystal Ballroom, West End)

PERFORMANCE

S P A C E: The Drag Show - The Solar System! Past Event List
Guided by cosmic hosts Max and Mars and featuring performances by Clare Apparently, Mafeta Crumble, Loretta Lordchild, The Infinite Urkscape, and others, this sliding-scale drag experience blends DIY energy with interstellar vibes for a unique exploration of the whole-ass solar system. That's right, it's the two-year series' grand finale, and past S P A C E hosts will return for one more celestial rotation. Head to Clinton Street Theater before the show starts to meet with local astrologers and peruse heavenly wares by local makers. LC
(Clinton Street Theater, Hosford-Abernethy)

SHOPPING

Jade International Night Market Past Event List
Back for the second time following a pandemic hiatus, the Jade Night Market draws over 5,000 people in celebration of Asian Pacific American culture and community. Browse wares from local vendors, nom on delicious multicultural eats, and check out live entertainment ranging from hula dancing to taiko drumming. I'm excited to try modern Korean comfort food from Rice Thief and grab some taiyaki from CosCakes. SL
(PCC Southeast Campus, South Tabor)

VISUAL ART

Jason Carey-Sheppard: Leckermaul Past Event List
The rise of residential art galleries in Portland is no mistake—during the pandemic, which shuttered some of the city's more traditional art spaces, curators began to think creatively. One such gallery, Derek Franklin's SE Cooper Contemporary, is housed on his family property in outer Lents. The gallery's shows are consistently inventive and surprising, like this one, in which artist Jason Carey-Sheppard shares a "black metal pastoral exhibition of paintings, a sculptural installation of approximately 100 cast plaster plates permeated with toasted blue cheese, and two resin cast beetles." Show up during their Saturday hours and venture beyond the familiar. LC
(SE Cooper Contemporary, Lents)

SUNDAY

FESTIVALS

India Festival 2024 Past Event List
For its 30th year, this fest celebrating India's independence day has moved locations from Pioneer Courthouse Square to Beaverton City Park. The larger area will allow for more vendors, picnic vibes, and demonstrations of cricket, mehndi henna, and classical Indian dance. There will even be a splash fountain for kiddos to cool off in. At its core, the fest remains unchanged, centering live music and entertainment alongside delicious food and drink. I can't wait to get my hands on some chaat. SL
(Beaverton City Park)

FILM

Troll Tales on the Lawn Past Event List
Whether you're in Oslo or the Pacific Northwest, no summer is complete without catching an outdoor movie screening (or three). Nordic Northwest agrees, and their hygge film programming offers a little something for everyone's cinema tastes, as long as those cinema tastes include trolls. On August 11, the Troll Tales on the Lawn series grumbles along with LAIKA's stop-motion fantasy adventure The Boxtrolls. Attendees can sip on a range of Oregon wines, beers, and non-alcoholic options during the film, and resident troll expert (yes, that's a thing!!) Britte Rasmussen Marsh will chat trolls beforehand, offering a wide context of "discord and history" pulled from her ample troll research. LC
(Nordic Northwest, Metzger)

PERFORMANCE

RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars LIVE Past Event List
RuPaul's Drag Race crowd favorites like Angeria, Jorgeous, Plastique Tiara, Roxxxy Andrews, Shannel, and Vanessa Vanjie will serve up all the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent they can muster, proving once again why they have what it takes to be an All Star. I hope they're ready to werq, because I'm ready to witness some splits and death drops. LC
(Keller Auditorium, Downtown)

SPORTS & RECREATION

Providence Bridge Pedal & Stride Past Event List
Providence's annual celebration of biking and bridges closes the upper decks of the Marquam and Fremont Bridges to cars and opens them to cyclists of all ages and skill levels! Choose from different routes and rides, or stay on your own two feet for the Bridge Stride, a five-mile walk that offers spectacular views of the Willamette River. Kiddos 12 and younger can register to ride a three-mile route for free. SL
(Various locations)

MULTI-DAY

COMEDY

Pacific Midwest: Video-Enhanced Sketch Comedy Past Event List
Not many details about this one-hour sketch show have been released, but I can promise it won't make you wish you were at home, parked in front of your TV, catching up on the Olympics. Portland comedy veterans Hanna Davis, Craig McCarthy, Chad Parsons, and Kristen Schier will come together for a stylish set that dribbles off the screen and onto the stage, melding live comedy with the pacifying glow of your television set. Expect "nature lovers, moms-to-be, dancing hopefuls, and soul-searching babies catapulted into living fantasies and painful realities." LC
(Siren Theater, Boise, Friday–Saturday)

COMMUNITY

Coraline's Curious Cat Trail Remind List
Google doesn't often classify movies as "family/horror," but Coraline is one of the few flicks that fits the bill. The 2009 LAIKA film, which follows an audacious 11-year-old who finds an alternate world populated by strange characters (including a button-eyed Other Mother), is based on the creepiest, most addictive Neil Gaiman book I read as a seventh-grader. If the book/movie's lanky black cat elicits your nostalgia, I recommend spending an afternoon with Coraline’s Curious Cat Trail, LAIKA's path of six-foot Cat sculptures stationed throughout downtown Portland. LC
(Various locations, Monday–Sunday)

2024 Fat Joy Summer Celebration Past Event List
Plus-size positivity pals Chub Hub are putting on a weekend full of events celebrating fat joy. On Friday, you can catch two performances at Curious Comedy Theater: Sizable Shenanigans celebrates its first birthday (livestream tickets are just $15; in-person, $30 Past Event List ), and monthly storytelling showcase Telltale centers around the theme "Back Fat and Bad Decisions" (in-person tickets are $25 Past Event List ). Saturday's party bus and pool party are already sold out, but you can grab $35 tickets to Paint & Laugh, where the Phat Bottom Gals will teach you how to paint (unprofessionally) while telling jokes (professionally). Make sure you save some energy for Sunday; the Body Positive Block Party Past Event List returns with a full day of entertainment, shopping, treats, and community. Activities include speed friending, drag bingo, snuggling therapy goats, and hanging out with artists and service providers advancing body diversity in Portland. The Curious Comedy Lounge will be open with air-conditioned activities and size-friendly seating if you need a break from the heat. SL
(Various locations, Friday–Sunday)

EXHIBIT

Summer at the Discovery Museum Past Event List
The World Forestry Center is throwing open the doors to its wood-filled Discovery Museum all summer long, offering special programming—including storytimes, forest crafts, science and wildfire preparedness talks, and an art exhibition, Tree People—that's bound to leave you more arboreally inclined than you were before. Learn about the Northwest's forests and their role "as a habitat, a place for recreation and reflection, a critical resource, and more" through an engaging variety of events; they're all included with the cost of admission. LC
(World Forestry Center & Discovery Museum, Washington Park, Wednesday–Sunday)

Tyrannosaurs - Meet the Family Past Event List
As a child, I begged my mom to take me to a "fossil digging" experience staged in an old Chuck E. Cheese, where kids were given a shovel and a sifter and let loose in a swimming pool-sized sand pit to hunt for petrified remains. I had the time of my life, came away with dozens of fossils, and it only hit me about five minutes ago that they were probably all fake. Point is, dinosaurs evoke strong emotions. "Tyrannosaurs – Meet the Family brings the latest tyrannosaur discoveries to life, overturning preconceptions about these ferocious predators," OMSI's promotional materials read. Okay, so do we have T. rex's vibes all wrong? Have we been slandering their name for...let's see...66 million years? This exhibition seems like a solid way to find out. Head to OMSI to learn about tyrannosaurs through real and replica specimens, fossils, three life-sized reconstructed skeletons, and a "30-foot tunnel where you can watch tyrannosaurs exploring modern-day Portland." LC
(OMSI, Central Eastside, Tuesday–Sunday)

FOOD & DRINK

The Craft Beer & Wine Festival Past Event List
The Craft Beer & Wine Fest spotlights over 60 craft brews, 20 wineries, and several distilleries within Vancouver's historic Esther Short Park. Along with all the food and booze your heart desires, the festival brings together unique art, local food, and classic rock aplenty from Johnny Wheels & the Swamp Donkeys, Revisiting Creedence (a band comprised of two former Creedence Clearwater Revival touring members), the Queen tribute Queen Mother, the Cheap Trick homage A Cheaper Trick, and the Cars-inspired Candy-O. JB
(Esther Short Park, Vancouver, Friday–Sunday)

26th Annual Elephant Garlic Festival Past Event List
Vampires be warned: The city of North Plains’ quaint flagship event pays tribute to all things elephant garlic with a car show, vendors, music, and more. They'll even coronate a Garlic King and Queen and host a parade in which floats toss out candy and heads of garlic. JB
(Jessie Mays Community Park, North Plains, Friday–Sunday)

LIVE MUSIC

The Best Day Ever Fest Past Event List
There was some buzz about this several weeks ago, but it's going to be one of the pinnacle local music events of the summer, so let's make sure everyone knows about Best Day Ever, the new music festival from Portland-raised rapper-turned-mainstream-hip-hop-superstar Aminé. In contrast with Project Pabst on the city's waterfront, or Pickathon, the farm music fest we're always shouting about, the Best Day Ever festival focuses on primarily hip-hop and rap. Headliners include hometown hero Aminé himself, superstar collaborator KAYTRANADA—who will no doubt be performing tracks from their joint album Kaytraminé—as well as Canadian instrumental band BadBadNotGood. The lineup is further solidified by indie rock / chillwave / hip-hop fusionist Toro y Moi, Atlanta emcee Karrahbooo,  Chicago R&B singer-songwriter Ravyn Lanae, Aminé’s tour DJ Madison LST, and Portland-based rapper 3WayHeff. There is absolutely no information on what the two-day schedule will look like, but for many fans, who cares? PORTLAND MERCURY CONTRIBUTOR JENNI MOORE
(Edgefield, Troutdale, Saturday–Sunday)

An Evening with Ween Past Event List
Beloved Pennsylvanian rock band Ween will take over Portland's living room (aka Pioneer Courthouse Square) for two nights on their 40 Years of Ween tour. Just like fellow cult favorites the Grateful Dead or Phish, you can expect the band to play an unpredictable setlist unique to each show. AV
(Pioneer Courthouse Square, Downtown, Thursday–Friday)

PERFORMANCE

Original Practice Shakespeare Festival Past Event List
The Original Practice Shakespeare Festival brings its productionsoutdoors each summer, interpreting the Bard's ​work in the classic First Folio style (that means limited rehearsal, an onstage prompter, and a fast-paced, improvisational feel). "Shakespeare should feel a little dangerous," the fest's promotional materials explain, and nothing sounds more dangerous to me than hopping on stage in front of a crowd to perform a barely rehearsed Elizabethan play. Check out the calendar for dates and locations of plays performed in parks across the city, including tales of heartbreak, murder, ghosts, and political intrigue this month (Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet). LC
(Various locations, Thursday–Saturday)

Wager All: A Rock Opera Past Event List
Created and performed by an "all trans or gender-nonconforming cast and crew," Wager All transforms the Decemberists' seminal album The Hazards of Love into a magical by-donation rock opera. The Portland-grown indie folk band's ethereal style lends itself to the opera's plot, which follows a young couple who "rely on the magic and power of love to set them free." It's a no-brainer for those of us who relentlessly blasted "16 Military Wives" in high school. LC
(Lincoln Hall, South Park Blocks, Friday–Sunday)

VISUAL ART

Brianna Spencer: Moon Eyes Past Event List
I last wrote about Brianna Spencer's work during her 2023 solo exhibition at Chefas Projects, Can You Get Me Something From the Store?, which expanded on her enduring interest in California culture, street art, and motherhood with confident forms and vibrant, joyful compositions. Spencer tragically passed in March, leaving her partner George, her baby daughter Ene, and a treasure trove of colorful artworks that remain true to her warm, wonder-eyed aesthetic. If you haven't seen Spencer's work before, I can promise that you will become a forever fan after viewing this show. And if you're already a lover of Spencer's work, Moon Eyes is for you—the memorial exhibition will celebrate her life through her art. LC
(Chefas Projects, Central Eastside, Wednesday–Saturday)

Emma Gerigscott: Ruminators Past Event List
I'm a long-time fan of Emma Gerigscott's painting practice, which often focuses on four-legged friends (or two-legged: Her last solo exhibition at Froelick took a refreshing dip into a duck pond). The artist's summer series of paintings on water-resistant Tyvek are glowy and contemplative, featuring horses, another duck, and elongated human forms. Yet-to-be-revealed paper compositions and plaster sculptures will supplement the works. LC
(Froelick Gallery, Pearl District, Tuesday–Saturday)

Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks Past Event List
Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks, which comes to the Portland Art Museum by way of Canada's Bata Shoe Museum, features almost 60 "futuristic" footwear designs created with ultra-modern technologies and materials. (If you could actually imagine yourself sporting the auto-lacing Nike MAG, this one's for you.) This might be your only chance to scope out 3D-printed shoes, repurposed ocean plastics, and mushroom leather within a museum space, so don't miss out. LC
(Portland Art Museum, South Park Blocks, Thursday–Sunday)

Gone Fishin' Past Event List
I'm in Georgia O'Keeffe's camp when it comes to the summer heat, but that doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't enjoy the season. "Summer amplifies our sense of aliveness, of being in the world among other beings...Temperaments become whimsical yet cognizant—we are uniquely attuned to the exterior and we want to revel in it, to enjoy one another," ILY2 posits. The gallery's new group exhibition was designed to be viewed in the sunshine during its summer closure. Gone Fishin' is installed in ILY2's windows, so you can stroll by and see pieces by Emma Kohlmann, Morgan Buck, Tanner Lind, Bonnie Lucas, and many others. The show should provide more than enough artistic inspiration to tide you over before the gallery's fall and winter exhibitions. LC
(ILY2, Pearl District, Wednesday–Saturday)
