Naughty-or-Nice: Thanks for making this a success!

Saturday night's joint venture with Ground Breaking Events (GBE), Naughty-or-Nice, at the Bohemia Warehouse, was a huge success. We were grateful to see so many smiling, dancing, sweaty bodies in one place, and we can't thank you all enough for your support.

In a continued effort to keep much of our event practices transparent, and to further encourage dialogue with those who attend our events, we've made a few notes regarding the event.

In taking into consideration feedback and lessons that we learned with our last event, we made efforts to organize the lines a little better this time around. Per many of your request (and the obvious logic they held) we originally set up two lines: one for will-call and another for entry being purchased at the door. Unfortunately, Portland did what it does best and let loose a steady rain that encouraged many of you to seek shelter under the tent, thereby losing the lines and confusing the situation. Despite regulations preventing us from expanding the lines into the street, in an effort to expedite entry and resolve the uncomfortable situation of the rain, we put ourselves on the line and opened another will-call station in the street.

Unfortunately, some of you were not able to make it in to the event. The event was a popular one, and selling out was inevitable. We encourage you to purchase advance tickets to future events. You want to come in and be a part of the events. And we want you there too!

Drinking plenty of water is a good thing! And, boy, did you all drink plenty of it! Next time, there will be more to go around.

We also appreciate your understanding of the necessity of a security pat-down. This ensures your safety and that Red Cube, as well as GBE, are able to continue to offer you quality events in the future.

Thanks again to all of you who came out to make this event such a positive success. We're looking forward to next year, with 2011 already filling up with great shows.

And, as always, we love to hear from you in a constructive manner, whether it be kudos or suggestions. Keep them coming!

Morgan Page. Yeah, you heard us: Morgan Page.

With 2011 already shaping up to be a great year for electronic music in Portland, we here at Red Cube HQ are excited to add on to the list of shows the Grammy-nominated, hugely popular, Morgan Page at Aura Nightclub on Friday, February 11th, 2011. With remixes for Madonna, La Roux, Katy Perry, and Tegan & Sara, as well as wholly underground original stormers under his belt, Morgan is a name largely recognized as being not only boundary-breaking, but just utter quality. This will be his first Portland, OR appearance, and we're happy to be the ones to bring him to you. To warm up the dance floor, we were able to convince (more like, we gave in to repeated begging) Red Cube residents, and local favorites, Gabriel Driscoll and Evan Alexander to combine their talents for a crowd-pleasing tag set.

We'll have more information, such as ticket prices and availability, updated soon, so keep checking back here, or "Like" our Facebook Fan Page.


And, in case you've been sleeping under a rock somewhere and managed to miss this, here's the video of Deadmau5's remix of The Longest Road:
