Shojo Ramen Pop-Up
[FOOD] Viet-Cajun spot Tapalaya's sous chef will be cooking up miso mushroom and chicken-pork tonkotsu ramen with Louisiana cracklins in a one-night Japanese-Cajun pop-up, which will also feature plenty of pickles, spicy Cajun rolls, and special sauces from Creaux mustard. Tapalaya, 28 NE 28th Ave., 232-6652. 4 pm.
Devotchka
[GYPSY PAINTERS] One of Colorado's finest, Devotcka is hard to pin down. The band stammers in and out of all kinds of genres, from classical to gypsy rock to gentle, thoughtful indie pop, all with a bigger sound and more emotion than any reasonable quartet should be responsible for. Revolution Hall, 1300 SE Stark St., 288-3895. 9 pm. $25. 21+.
Thursday Jan. 14
Eowyn Emerald & Dancers
[DANCE PARTY] In Portland's quiet dance bubble, Eowyn Emerald is really moving. Last week, she imported top Northwest choreographers, and this week she's celebrating another acceptance to the Edinburgh Fringe festival with this contemporary showcase that's part of Third Rail Repertory Theatre's Wild Card lineup. Imago Theatre, 17 SE 8th Ave., thirdrailrep.org. 7:30 pm. $20.
Lupe Fiasco
[HIP-HOP] After losing momentum following the long wait and disappointing returns of 2011's Lasers, the critically lauded Chicago MC recovered, at least partially, with last year's solid, progressive Tetsuo & Youth. With three more records scheduled to drop in 2016, he is poised to win back his day-one supporters. Roseland Theater, 8 NW 6th Ave., 971-230-0033. 8 pm. $26.50-$40. All ages.
Friday Jan. 15
The Yellow Wallpaper
[THEATER] CoHo's world premier for Fertile Ground is opening before the festival, and the feminist-slanting thriller about a woman prescribed a "rest cure" for her postpartum depression is already a standout thanks to Sue Mach's writing and multimedia updates. CoHo Theater, 2257 NW Raleigh St., 220-2646, cohoproductions.org. 7:30 pm. $29.
Sunday Jan. 17
Sam Lansky
[BOOKS] In his junior year of high school, Time deputy culture editor Sam Lansky moved from Portland to Manhattan, enrolled in a swanky school, got himself a crazy pill habit and later wrote a book about it. This is required reading for all West Hills trophy children. Powell's City of Books, 1005 W Burnside St., 228-4651. 7:30 pm. Free.
