Weekday events of note, 10/31-11/3:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Monday:

  • Halloween show at Mojo Main with prodigal Newark sons Spin Drift, with Chrome Lord.  21+, 9pm, $7. 
  • Showing of Halloween (the original, and one of the greatest films of all time imho) at Theatre N. 7:30pm.  FREE.  Theatre details.  And if you go and some drunken idiot starts nervously but loudly laughing through the pivotal scenes, as if to say "These quaint old horror films amuse us.  Right?  RIGHT?  I ain't skeered!", you have my permission to claw her eyes out.  Many a retro movie experience has been ruined by That Person.
  •  Movie Monday at the Kennett Flash. Caveat: Call them to make sure - I could swear there was a horror film scheduled for Monday but I cannot now find reference to it on their site.  They have dedicated Mondays in November to Wes Anderson films, so I know it's not the case that they're discontinuing the movie series. Kennett Flash site. Free, donations encouraged. Doors at 7pm, show at 7:30.
  • Movie Monday at the Trocadero: Horror/comedy classic Creepshow.  21+, $3.  Doors at 6:30, show at 8, arrive before 7 and get a free beer and popcorn.

Tuesday:
  • Some Noel Gallagher documentary screening at the Trocadero.  I am not a fan, so I'll leave it to you to peruse the link if you're so inclined.  More info.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wednesday:
  • 4W5 Blues Jam at the Queen. 7pm, free.
  • Rasputina at the Queen. (cello-driven rock.  I'm a string player, but they've always seemed a little gimmick-y for my tastes.  Still, a lot of people seem to love them, so... here you are).  8pm, $23. Ticket link.
  • Goo Goo Dolls at the Grand Opera House. 8pm.  Ticket link.
  • St. Vincent with Cate Le Bon at Union Transfer. All ages, 8pm, $18. Ticket link.  St. Vincent started as a back up singer for both Sufjan Stevens and the Polyphonic Spree, before going solo.  I know people who have met her, and claim she's "Blindingly, you-have-to-look-away beautiful" in person, to boot. Here's a perfectly-tempoed song from her excellent 2009 album Actor.  Also recommended is the much more upbeat song "Actor Out Of Work".

Thursday:
  • Karaoke at Mojo Main. 9pm, free
  • Meat Puppets at Johnny Brenda's. I could swear this wasn't on their calendar a few days ago.  21+, 9:15, $14. 
  • Sold out Panic at the Disco show at the Troc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upcoming: Mister Heavenly (mems. Man Man, Modest Mouse and Islands) at FU Church on Fri., The Sea and Cake at Union Transfer next Wednesday.  Spinto Band at the Kennett Flash on the 11th.
