Portland might have gotten a little weirder last night after it had its first Weird Portland Gala and Costume Party at Polaris Hall in North Portland. The event included hundreds of costumed weirdos and Portland's weirdest celebrities, including former Portland Mayor Bud Clark, Moshow the Cat Rapper, Una The Mermaid, a pig named P. Iggy Smalls, the Unipiper, Darcelle, Stewart Holbrook and of course PDX Elvis, who has been performing on the streets for over 30 years.



Rojo the Llama was supposed to attend the event but passed away earlier this week from natural causes. In his place was Napoleon the alpaca from Rojo's farm, Mountain Peaks therapy llamas and alpacas. Organizers dedicated the event to Rojo.



The event was organized by Weird Portland United, a nonprofit managed by Brian Kidd who is better known as the Unipiper. The group works to Keep Portland Weird.
