Things to Do This Week in Portland: March 2-8

Friday March 4

The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick

[FILM] Wim Wenders' stunning second feature was shelved for decades thanks to German music regulations. This rerelease—with a new soundtrack—will kick off the Film Center's Wenders retrospective. Northwest Film Center's Whitsell Auditorium, 1219 SW Park Ave., 221-1156. 7 pm. $9.

Saturday March 5

Great Notion Beer Release

[GREAT BEER] In our blind tasting of 73 IPAs, Great Notion's two beers rank as the third and fifth best in Portland. Now, they're breaking out the imperial IPA and a crazy breakfast stout. Great Notion Brewing, 2204 NE Alberta St., No. 101, 548-4491. Noon-11 pm. $10.

Beaverton Sub Station Anniversary

[SUBS] Chuck Wilson is the heart and soul of downtown Beaverton, and he'll be celebrating 35 years of making old-school, meat-packed, fresh-bread subs there. Celebrate his sub shop's birthday with cake from Beaverton Bakery. Beaverton Sub Station, 12448 SW Broadway St., Beaverton, 626-2782. 10 am.

Sunday March 6

Eleanor Friedberger

[INDIE ROCK] Eleanor Friedberger's work as a member of the Fiery Furnaces was a jubilant celebration of weird, tripped-out bliss. As a solo artist, though, she's gone for a more subdued aesthetic. The tunes on her vibrant, sunny new record, New View, employ a relaxed tone drawn from her own personal experiences. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St., 231-9663. 8 pm. $12 advance, $14 day of show. 21+.

Monday March 7

Protomartyr

[POST-PUNK] Protomartyr's gloomy, gritty post-punk appeals to nebbish goths and punk ruffians alike. Frontman Joe Casey made last year's The Agent Intellect a cathartic exorcism of personal demons and familial loss, giving the band its most praised release to date. Doug Fir Lounge, 830 E Burnside St., 231-9663. 8 pm. $12. 21+.
