BITCH, PLEASE: The grass is always greener when its stains are on your clothes, so grab some duds and swing down to Jupiter Hotel this weekend for Bitch Media's spring clothing swap. For $7 and a bag of clothes you can saunter in and swap, and for $10 you can get in sans bag, ostensibly to enjoy the "thrifty feminist" atmosphere. Jupiter Hotel, 800 E Burnside St.. 5:30-7:30 pm Tuesday, May 25. $7 with clothes, $10 without.
FREE RENT FOR (WHAT'S LEFT OF) LIFE: Seniors who tour a Holiday Retirement community before June 30 will be entered to win one of three spots with free rent for life (including food and cleaning services!) at any of the company's locations. While it's fantastic financially, there's something profoundly eerie about being the only resident whose life is a financial burden on the facility that's taking care of you. In addition, this weekend Parkrose Chateau is giving out two cruise passes as door prizes for people who tour. Parkrose Chateau, 3141 NE 148th Ave., 928-8592; for other Holiday Retirement community locations, see holidaytouch.com.

THE FIRST CUT IS THE CHEAPEST: The Leatherman Tool Group is holding its annual factory sale on discontinued and obsolete models of useful (and often razor-sharp) multi-tools.

Noon–8 pm Friday, 10 am-2 pm Saturday, May 21-22.
