Who’s coming to town? November 23-29

blackjacket Who's coming to town? November 23-29

There are certainly two nights this week that trying to get anyone to show up is difficult, so we have a bit of a limited schedule. But Friday night has plenty on the menu to fill you up after the family has parted ways for the holiday.

Thursday: Nightclub. This is an interesting proposal. Check out the upstairs Saturn green room for free, while a DJ spins some tracks. All you have to do is find the Facebook event page (not difficult, just visit Saturn’s Facebook page and click on events) and RSVP.
