Come Fly with me on a magic pony ride through the diamond district.
Let's have a wonderful weekend adventure.....
Thursday
Weather: SUNNY! high of 61°; low of 44°
Since last you cared about Ratatat was about 2.5 years ago you and your magic pony aren't that bummed the show is sold out.....
- What better way to welcome the warm weather than double fisting with $5 caipahrinas at St Ex's Brazilian night
- Actually there is a better way: a racist ice cream social that has something or nothing to do with WU-TANG?!?! (C.R.E.A.M- ref is a stretch) WTF
- If your magic pony can still fly after all the ice cream and Cachaca, have her whisk you over to the Deleted Scenes show at Rock n Roll Hotel with The Life & Times and Medications.
Friday
Weather: SUNNY! high of 70°; low of 51°
- If you and your magic pony are an ambitious duo who like a little bit of networking/schmoozing with your boozing head to Capitol Pecha Kucha at House of Sweden. Vol. 8 of the Pecha Kucha series is called “LIVING GREEN" with guest presentations from the cutting edge of GREEN and Swedes!
- If your magic pony just got paid and wants to buy a bottle of champange but still keep it real go to Policy where DJ Jackie O will be breaking hearts (she looks so hot in that flyer).
- And there is a glow in the dark party at 1120 Columbia Rd
Saturday
Weather: SUNNY! high of 75°; low of 54°
- My plan is to play bocce and eat ice cream sandwiches all day and then go to FATBACK at LIV: the Fatback DJs are essentially magic ponies in their own right.
- If you like Wilco you should go see the Wilco concert film premire at The Avalon 7 pm. IF YOU WANT to get totally "Tweeded" Comet Ping Pong is hosting a show featuring performances of Wilco songs Lineup includes Edie Sedgwick, Big Gold Belt, Exactly, Revival, Brandon Butler, John Bustine, Peter Hayes, Mary Battiata, Lorelei, Mary Timony & many others plus some surprise special guests. Performances to begin at 10 pm and admission is free. ALL INFO HERE
- Black Cat is flipping the bird to dance nights and giving backstage back to local bands with its Second Saturdays series. This installment: Ra Ra Rasputin and Buildings FTW.
- Late night at Trinidad and Tobago for Hometown Heroes' tribute to DJ HUT
Sunday
Weather: CLOUDY high of 65°; low of 51°
- Pregame at Tune Inn and then...... FLAMING LIPZZZ ON THE MALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- ewwwww look at its wang!
God loves a cheerful giver.

every time i see that 'X' is at Bebar, i'm like, "Why the fuck would X be playing at Bebar?!?"
