Thursday:
  • Urban Bike Project happy hour at Public House on Market St.  $5 for "drink specials and giveaways" (not sure if they mean 'at the door'), benefits the UBP.  5-8pm. 
  • Villains Like You at Mojo Main.  18+, doors at 8, $8.
  • Some manner of original show at Logan House.  Note to Logan House: why do you wait until the night of the show to list who's playing?  I know you usually have interesting original bands on Thursdays, but I can never list those shows until the last minute.  Why even have an events calendar if there's never anything on it in advance? UPDATE: It's a Musikarmageddon show - Cubane vs. Deadbeatz. 
  • Cheers Elephant (critically acclaimed Philly band, presented by Y-Not Radio and Deli Magazine) at the North Star.  21+, doors at 8, $8.
