ELIZA FERNAND QUILT STORIES: 6:30 pm (25 minute set)
Last year, Eliza Fernand drove across the country with her quilted tent, collecting stories and anecdotes about quilts in twenty-five cities and towns; from Washington, to Massachusetts, to Texas, and back to California. After recording over 100 MP3's of personal stories, she is deconstructing the audio and piecing the collected words into song lyrics. The result, for now, is a performance with video and song. In collaboration with musician Robin MacMillan in New York, the sound piece including five songs and remixed field recordings has been recently released by AOT Imprint in Minneapolis.
Photography from this project will be on view at the PNCA Alumni Exhibition in
September and October. COME HEAR HER STORIES!
THEN:ART OPENING: GLOSSY AND CAKELIKE WHEN CUT,
by CHELSEA LINEHAN. 7-8 pm.
"The sculptures I make act as souvenirs from fantastical landscapes they may have originated from. Utilizing mostly plastics, the work reflects an unrealistic world preserved forever urging the viewer to long for the place of origin. These mementos help to collapse the space between distant imaginative continents and the now."-Chelsea Linehan

FRIDAY JULY 20
Tom Tom Magazine is starting a monthly DJ night in town. For our first month we are so stoked to present Kathy Foster, DJ KM Fizzy, at Valentines. Besides DJing the best sets + making some rad visual art, she drums + sings + plays bass in some fantastic bands: the Thermals, & Hurry Up!, & All Girl Summer Fun Band.....
Tom Tom is celebrating the release of their 10th print issue at this night! We'll be there with the mag and merch and would love to talk to you about getting involved, placing ads, getting subscriptions & whatever else floats your boat, within reason.
9 PM TIL CLOSE, HELL YEAH.
TONIGHT, MONDAY, JULY 23
PSYCHEDELIC MONDAY NIGHT! The Sexy Water Spiders are fucking rad, and they bring a layered psychedelic vibe to every inch of their performance. We've been trying to get these guys in here forever, and we're so excited they finally made it. Don't miss them, they're gonna be huge. Tropical Punk (tropicalpunk.bandcamp.com) are from Nashville, and proclaim themselves to be "about parties and highways and broken hearts that sound like The Ramones and Bruce Springsteen if they played together in some basement and then woke up & went driving around the country.” SOUVENIR DRIVER(.com) promises to offer up dreamy rock and roll world. We'll have acid flashbacks from this night, guaranteed!

LITERARY MIXTAPE #9:THE SUMMER EDITION
The Literary Mixtape boys are back in town! Come out this Thursday night to watch Valentine's go up in proverbial flames. Once again, Erik Bader and Matthew Korfhage have put together an evening comprised of what could only be called literary geniuses. From the horses' mouth:
A few kind notes about our readers:
*Lisa Wells is author of a book of poetry (Beast) and of a book of essays on Portland and drunks and musicians and Nicaragua and camping (Yeah. No. Totally.) that had The Stranger calling her "a bomb thrower intent on blowing the stupidity of her own generation to pieces."
*Emily Kendal Frey is a terrifically well-regarded and upstanding poet; aside from her regular appearances in journals and newspapers and such, Frey's book The Grief Performance received both the Cleveland State Poetry Center’s First Book Prize and the Poetry Society of America's First Book Award. Golly.
*Matt Brown is a finely well-read gentleman, the owner and generalized label boss of the very fine music label Bladen County Records, and the co-owner of the very fine bar/venue/refectory Bunk Bar. He also somehow knows every single person in Portland, including your dog and your dog's best friend.
STICK AROUND AFTER-WORDS (get it?) FOR THE HONKY TONK STYLINGS OF THE TENDER LOVE AND CARE DJS!
THURSDAY AUGUST 9TH
Bergerette is Pat Janowski, Viva Las Vegas, and Stella Pentimenti, three ladies with decades of performance experience between them. Pat, a veteran actress and musician, is best known for her work with Live Wire! and PICA's Flash Choir. Viva is an author, actress and stripper who fronts Coco Cobra and the Killers. Stella, their magical & mysterious leader, has produced many events in Portland under various pseudonyms, and is a longtime stage veteran as well.
Joining Bergerette on 8/9/12 at Valentine's will be Heather Blackburn on cello. Following Bergerette will be sets by under-sung country stars Jake Ray and Paul Brainard (on loan from the fabulous Landmark Saloon), and "Incubator" founder and curator Myrrh Larsen.

SUNDAY JULY 29TH
THE Truman's Water will be playing this night! Formed in 1991 in San Diego, Truman's Water have been playing experimental, improvisational indie rock since then, with a relocation to Portland spurring a more Northwestern type of sound. They have released more than 12 records, and have played with Cat Power and Thurston Moore. Just signed to Asthmatic Kitty Records, Trumans Water has a lo-fi, guitar-rich sound that complements an Ankeny alley well. See you there. We are so excited about this one!
