San Francisco based Diego's Umbrella is truly poineering the sound of Mexicali Gypsy Pirate Polka music. Their blend of flamenco mixed with rock, reggae and Americana added with a hint of hip-hop and pop-based beats, is a recipe that will get you singing along and dancing in no time.

The Women's Networking Group is a friendly, informal group of women who meet regularly to socialize, promote their businesses or non-profits, seek employment, collaborate, ask questions and trade leads. The group is a mix of core members and newcomers, a combination which fosters intimacy while still staying fresh. Our members represent a wide range of professions, from voice coaches and jewelry designers to real estate brokers and medical professionals. WNG is also a great opportunity to build business partnerships. The group has given birth to several smaller collaborative projects, from fashion shows to financial advice workshops, and we encourage cooperation among individual members. WNG meetings generally take place twice a month, with one meeting happening at CubeSpace (622 SE Grand Ave.) and the other being hosted in the home of a WNG member. Cost is $18. Dinner and beverages are provided. Pre-registration and pre-payment are strongly encouraged; we do limit attendance to 20 women. In an effort to provide the maximum benefit to everyone concerned, we ask for 48 hours' notice if a pre-registered woman needs to cancel; this allows us to fill her slot. Barring emergencies, if you need to cancel on shorter notice than 48 hours, you will still be charged.

Rebecca Solnit to Speak at Portland State starting April 15, 2008 Starts: 7:00pm What: Portland States's Literary Arts Council, Speaker's Board and English department present award-winning writer Rebecca Solnit, known as one of the nation's most provocative activist writers. Solnit will offer a talk on her writing life and the potentially controversial subjects she takes on. "Always insightful, [Solnit's] essays offer many shrewd observations about the social, political and cultural landscape of contemporary America," wrote a recent reviewer in Booklist, while a Los Angeles Times reviewer noted that, "Solnit's intelligent meditations may awaken us from our self- congratulatory coma. [Her] mind is fertile, wide-ranging and capable of integrating the bewildering deluge of fact, political delusion, flights of genius, inconceivable danger and cunning deceit that [have] characterized the nuclear age." When: Tuesday, April 15. The talk begins at 7 p.m. Where: Smith Memorial Union, room 236 (1825 SW Broadway). Cost: The talk is free to PSU students, staff and faculty. Contact: For more information contact Debra Gwartney at 503-725-8978. Background: Solnit is known for confronting edgy topics on landscape and geography, environment, politics and visual culture. She is the author of 12 books, including Storming the Gates of Paradise: Landscapes for Politics, published in 2007. Other titles include A Field Guide to Getting Lost (2005); Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities (2004); and River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West (2003), which won a Guggenheim in its research phase and, after publication, several major awards, including the National Book Critics Circle Award. Solnit is a contributing editor at Harper's magazine, a columnist for Orion magazine and a longtime contributor to Tomdispatch.com. She is a recent recipient of a prestigious Lannan Foundation Literary Award.
