Prado • The Portland Steering Committee for the Human Rights Campaign is launching its first signature event in eight years with Bridges to Equality, a star-studded benefit gala and brunch, August 22 at Pure Space. The gala, featuring Tonight Show intern and comedian Ross Mathews and local folk musician Holcombe Waller among other high-profile speakers and performers, will raise funds for H RC’s national lobby efforts to overturn “Don’t ask, don’t tell” and pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. While the main focus of the event is financial, event co-chair CM Hall says it is also “a movement building opportunity for us in Portland to create more of a draw for what H RC’s work is in D.C.” Bridges to Equality runs 12:30-3 p.m. Sunday, August 22 at Pure Space (1315 NW Overton). Tickets are $100, VIP tickets (in cluding a hosted bar and access to the special guests) are $125. Tickets can be purchased online via hrcactioncenter.org or by phone at 800-494-8497.

The series will also star Kyle MacLach- lan (Twin Peaks) and Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation) and is expected to poke fun at the people and values of our fair city. Inspired by Armisen and Brownstein’s sketch comedy group Thunderant, Portlandia will feature such classically Portland charac ters as the owners of a feminist book store, a militant bike messenger, an artsy couple ob sessed with cut-outs of birds on everything and a punk rock couple in search of a “safe word.” “I’m so excited about working on this,” Armisen said in an IFC release. “It’s a pas sion project I have been working on with Carrie Brownstein for a while, and I can’t think of a better way to spend my off seasons from SNL.” Portlandia begins production later this month and is written in collaboration with Allison Silverman (The Colbert Report) and Jonathan Krisel (SNL). IFC has not yet de cided when the series will air. For a taste of what’s inspiring Portlandia, visit Thunderant. com.
