Dracula Zombie USA Yankee Ingenuity + Feel It Robot

Music seen November 20, at SPACE Gallery
The best way to warm up as the cold sets in is to have a dance party. Whether SPACE's Halloween costume ball or the spontaneous Obama victory celebration in Monument Square, it seems the colder it gets, the more Portlanders want to shimmy.
