Second Portlandia Preview Screening Added at Hollywood Theatre; Colin Meloy Now Playing Afterparty

The Hollywood Theatre's phones were apparently ringing all through the weekend with people hoping against hope they could somehow get into the sold-out preview screening of Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen's Stumptown comedy series Portlandia.

Hope triumphs: A second show has been added at 10 pm Friday, Jan. 14. Like the 7:30 pm show, it'll have both episodes of Portlandia, plus stand-up comedy from Ian Karmel and a Q&A with a member of the show's creative team.

I won't be conducting that interview (though I'm leading the Q&A with Carrie Brownstein at the 7:30 pm show). By 9 pm, I'll be at the Portlandia afterparty / Beer and Movie opening-night gala, where Colin Meloy of the Decemberists has now been added to the musical lineup.

Tickets for the second showing and the BAM/Portlandia afterparty are available at the Hollywood Theatre box office and here.

Update, 5:21 pm: Rather astoundingly, the second screening has also sold out.
