The Hot List: Portland GEAR Con, Portland's funniest person, Top Down cinema ...

1 Calling all devotees of Steampunk, the cultural byway that celebrates a distinctive blend of Victorian, Industrial Revolution and sci-fi influences. At the first Portland GEAR Con (short for "Gaslight Explorers, Adventurers & Romantics Convention"), there'll be fashion, performance, workshops and assorted other diversions. Noon-11:30 p.m. Friday-Sunday; $10-$50; Crowne Plaza Portland; 1441 N.E. Second Ave.; pdxgearcon.com
 
2 As if there aren't reasons to laugh these days, you can get even more comedy thanks to this week's round of the 2011 "Portland's Funniest Person Contest," a continuing head-to-head battle between 140 contestants vying for the title, and a $1,000 grand prize. 8 p.m., Tuesday; $5-$10; Helium Comedy Club; 1510 S.E. Ninth Ave.; heliumcomedy.com
 
3 In the early days of the talkies, Hollywood made movies with hard-edged, unsentimental attitudes toward men, women, sex, substance abuse, poverty, corruption and any number of topics brought into harsh relief by the Depression. By the mid-1930s, this era was over, as a censorious production code was enforced. Watching many of those early-'30s movies now is a revelation -- they're so adult, blunt and honest they make today's romcoms look like cartoons made by nap-deprived children. An example: this week's Top Down Rooftop Cinema entry, "Female, " a 1933 vehicle for Ruth Chatterton as a businesswoman who enjoys her power -- and her love life. Doors at 7 p.m., music by A La Mode at 8 p.m., movie at 9 p.m., Thursday; $9; on the rooftop parking lot at the Hotel deLuxe, Southwest 15th and Yamhill; bring chair or blanket; nwfilm.org
 
4 If you've already seen the final "Harry Potter" movie, had your fill of "Horrible Bosses" and crave something a tad more intellectually engaging than "Transformers" in 3-D, rent the DVD/Blu-ray release of "Source Code," a sleeper that critics hailed for its twisty plot and emotional impact. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a soldier who finds himself inhabiting the body of a stranger and trying to stop a deadly bombing on a commuter train. Michelle Monaghan co-stars, and Duncan Jones ("Moon") directs. Available Tuesday; enterthesourcecode.

Improvisation, as Well as Intensity

As a break from the Romantics, he played a crisp, if somewhat too cute, account of Haydn's Piano Sonata in C (Hob. XVI:35.) If you like Haydn crunchy, rather than smooth (to borrow terms from peanut butter), this was the performance for you.



Her Fans, Squealing, Won't Hold Their Peace

She declared herself — and her fans — ”hopeless romantics,” but her cool, systematic ambition was just as clearly on display. That didn't stop the squeals. Taylor Swift performs through Sunday at the Prudential Center in Newark, and on Aug.



British Annoyed and Confused with 'Americanisms'

I quite like the phrase in itself, but it seems to have obliterated all other ways of speaking about birthdays. Michael McAndrew, Swindon Defense: Michael, millions of people continue to celebrate birthdays. Why are you implying we made this transition



Poetic justice for all
Poetic justice for all

"I just enjoy reading - Romantics like Keats, but also outlaw poets like Bukowski. Poetry isn't elitist. If you read enough of it, you'll always find something you like." "And reading your own poetry aloud to an audience helps break down barriers too,"

Happy 50th Birthday Michael! Enjoy the day with your family and friends! :) Here’s a special birthday video I created.
