We love weird in Portland. If you are bored, there are great weird opportunities this weekend. The HP Lovecraft Film Festival and Cthulhucon is a festival dedicated to horror and weird films inspired by brilliant and tortured writer HP Lovecraft. It is the first and only annual Lovecraftian film festival. Both amateur and professional films, short and long are included.
The Salmon and Mushroom Festival is teaming with the Dowsing and Extra Terrestrial Conference on Mt Hood. That would be the same Mt Hood where some scenes from The Shining were filmed! The featured speaker is the James Gilliland from the Self Mastery Earth Institute and Enlightened Contact with ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence - ECETI. Workshops and lectures include ancient astronauts, crop circles, the Mayan calendar, hypnosis, geomancy, Lecher antennas and all manner of dowsing. See the web sites for information.
