January 6, 2011 by Dave 3 Comments

Update: The 7:30pm premiere sold out pretty quickly, but a second “premiere” has been added, at 10pm. Visit the Hollywood Theater box office for details!

PortlandiaThe TV series Portlandia, featuring Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen, premieres on IFC on Friday, January 21st.

But the Portland, and World, Premiere takes place a week earlier on Friday, January 14th at the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy).

The festivity begins at the Hollywood Theatre at 7:30pm, with emcee Mikey Kampmann and comic Ian Karmel, followed by two episodes of PORTLANDIA’s “dreamy and absurd rendering of Portland, Oregon” a week before it premieres on IFC. The screening will be followed by a Q&A between film critic Aaron Mesh and co-creator and co-star Carrie Brownstein.

Shot entirely on location in Portland and starring Brownstein and SNL’s Fred Armisen, the series guest stars celebrities such as Kyle MacLachlan, Selma Blair and Gus Van Sant and is executive produced by Lorne Michaels and directed by Jonathan Krisel. The event will include an auction featuring items created by local artists inspired by Portlandia’s “Put a Bird on It” sketch and Rogue Brewery’s special Portlandia beer will be for sale.

Tickets are $15, and $10 for the 21 and over after party. Proceeds with benefit Film Action Oregon and the Oregon Humane Society!
