TONIGHT, a nationwide effort on behalf of independent club’s will take place to benefit those directly affected by the Gulf Coast Oil Spill. We are all aware of the severity of this tragedy to the region and the global ecosystem. What many are unaware of, as the oil continues to gush, the Gulf Coast communities are quickly being devastated. In the spirit of Independence Day, indie venues across the US are donating 100% of door revenues to the fishermen of the Gulf Coast and the clean up efforts. Please join Mississippi Pizza with musical guests Loose Change and Dawn and the Dents, TONIGHT from 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm at 3552 North Mississippi Avenue in Portland. Donations accepted at the door, but no one turned away for lack of funds. More information at http://www.mississippipizza.com/calendar/#snapcal_event_367
