Warmish days be damned, because Christian Girl Autumn has officially begun. This week offers many reasons to head indoors, like Spike Lee's Kurosawa-inspired film Highest 2 Lowest, Amanda Lepore's club kid glamour, and '70s art rockers Sparks. Plus, Freddie Robins installs knitted horses at Cooley Gallery, and the storytelling show Be Gay, Do Crime centers icons of queer rebellion. Read on, and don't forget your coat.

I don't want to alarm you, but autumn is almost here, people. September 15-21 is the last week before the equinox, and fortunately for us, Portland has plenty of creative and apparently candlelit events planned. On the docket are astral jazz, Sasha Fishman's slime sculptures, and vampire baseball set to a live orchestra. Plus, you'll find the latest from some locals, including novelist Leni Zumas, certified baddie Wynne, and Gaia lovers Making Earth Cool. Here's what not to miss.

The Waterfront Blues Festival's lineup is growing, featuring local talents like LaRhonda Steele and ZZ Ward, promising a vibrant experience for blues music lovers.

Alison Moyet's new album, Key, showcases her extraordinary voice with reworked singles and new tracks, celebrating 40 years of innovative solo artistry.

Ludwig van Beethoven's lush Symphony No. 6, also known as the Pastoral Symphony, paints a musical picture of the Austrian countryside, making it an ideal spring soundtrack.
