Channel Your Inner Goth
Fall is almost here. Rather than consuming pumpkin spice lattes, take part in the Eugene Gothic Weekend at Old Nick’s Pub (located at 211 Washington Street). Friday and Saturday night will have dancing, but make sure you stop by for the Dark Arts Market, which makes me wonder if it’ll be a real life Diagon Alley — if it is, brush up on your “Defence Against the Dark Arts” lessons.

Commit Murder in Disguise
Stoned Face Jokers
Have you ever told a joke so high that you not only forgot the punchline but butchered the delivery? The Gateway Show has stand-up comedians first tell their jokes then they get high, and try to tell it again. It’s almost like Drunk History — but better. Hosted by Luke Severeid, comedians include Nariko Ott, Mike Masilotti, Dashiell Thompson and more. Some of these comedians aren’t regular smokers either, so don’t expect perpetual stoners. The show is at Whirled Pies, located at 199 W. 8th Avenue. Doors open at 6 pm and show starts at 7 pm. Tickets are $12-$25, 21+.

Shoot to Thrill
Do you know the “Thriller” dance by heart? If not, shame on you. But that’s OK. Venue 252 is hosting a Thrill The World, where people can learn the moves of the late, great Michael Jackson. It’s the first step for you to join in on future “Thriller” flash mobs during fall. The lesson runs 6 to 7 pm. FREE.
A Note From the Publisher
Dear Readers,
The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.
That’s because of you!
Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.
Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.
We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.
And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.
None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.
As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.
Thank you for standing with us!

P.S. If you’d like to talk about supporting EW, I’d love to hear from you!
