"The annual Portland Winter Light Festival illuminates the city this week, with glowy mood-enhancers like a "cosmic" cuttlefish and touch-sensitive light installations. Topping the list of "dudes you have heard of" are Chuck Klosterman and Todd Barry, both of whom will swing by to share their stuff-a new football-themed book and new jokes, respectively. And if you've had enough of Heated Rivalry, guess what? No you haven't! Come to the cottage (the Get Down) for a dance party."
"Whether he's musing on Coldplay, or on radical uncertainty and the limitations of human perception, Klosterman's multifarious brain has something to say about just about everything. In his new book Football, he turns his attention to the American sport just in time for Super Bowl LX. He insists this is not a book for football fans, and while I urge you not to take him at his word, the content dives deeper than perfunctory statistics and divisional history."
Portland's Winter Light Festival fills the city with illuminated installations, including a "cosmic" cuttlefish and interactive, touch-sensitive lights. Chuck Klosterman presents his new book Football, treating the sport as a cultural lens and offering broader reflections on perception and society; his reading is at Powell's City of Books, 1001 W Burnside, at 7 pm, free and all ages. Comedian Todd Barry will perform new material. A documentary titled Monk in Pieces examines Meredith Monk's creative output and responses to mortality. Nightlife offerings include Heated Rivalry and a lively, unconventional dance night at the cottage (the Get Down).
