Hello! This is dj zen_hound. In the past I’ve published some local events calendars, to give Freeform Portland listeners and blog readers an idea of what sort of things are happening in our city a week or so at a time. Well, after a bit of a hiatus, I figured it was time to start it up again. So here’s a list of shows occurring through Sunday the 11th of February.
