I wish I could go back to Portland; it was very cool. This is a good site to check out:

PDX, SEA, and SFO are my favorite cities out west.

The flagship Niketown is in Portland. Live it up!

It's too cold and rainy during the winter...

But, it's really nice in the spring and summer. Everything is green and blooming.

Thanks for all the feedback! However, the question still remains...wtf should I do out there other than the wedding. lol

I'd just pray that time goes by fast so you can get out of there!

Portland's scene is really small, my sister lives up there. Most of the big shows are in Seattle, which is just 3 hours away. I would check residentadvisor.net or nwtekno.org like somebody mentioned earlier.

I highly recommend that Drumcell party. The Turbosound system is immense. I was planning on going before work shit got in the way.

If anybody here is ever in Portland, check NWTekno.org to see if the Kulturzene folk (M.Quiet and 31avas) are playing. They're mother fucking fantastic DJs, especially M.Quiet; Matt played a three-hour set after their tag team here at an afters a few weeks ago, and it was one of the best sets I've ever heard. Highly, highly recommended.

Done right you can make it in two hours, though I've managed to do it in 90 minutes before. That said, the legality of my method is probably pretty sketchy. We're throwing a party here on Saturday...

We're bringing [a]pendics.shuffle up from LA and Rex Sepulveda over from Detroit. If you dig the whole "tiny, dark, underground hush hush venue" vibe then you need to get your ass up here. Let me know if you do and I'll make sure you're taken care of.

I actually made it to this event @ 2/3am til 5am. All in all, the people in Portland are VERY NICE, like awkwardly nice. Clean Downtown area, convenient rail system. Con - almost everywhere closes @ 6:30pm. Had to take the street car a couple miles up to find a liquor store open til 10pm. I'll go back if I ever have a reason to, but it was probably my first and last time.

Thanks for all the help and feedback was right on point!
