Weekend Warriors

Let's be honest here. You're going to be way to busy to go to shows this weekend. A little american institution we like to call the Super Bowl is peeking around the corner and you still need to:

1.) Hit Rent-A-Center for that 50'' HDTV.
2.) Set Up shoddy stadium seating in your 12X12 living room, much to the shagrin of your all-to-understanding girlfriend.
3.)Buy a keg of Pabst, Beast, or Natty Light (whatever's on sale).
4.) Set things straight with your bookie and asure him that after you win your Super Bowl bet, everything between you two will be ok and the whole season's mess will be cleaned up.
5.) Spend all of Saturday memorizing random, unimportant statistics that will make you seem smart in front of all your friends on Sunday.
6.) Hit the grocery store at sprint speed to get chips, salsa, clam dip, little weiners with that tasty sauce, and those little scallops wrapped in bacon.
7.) Call all the Giants fans you know and invite them to your shindig, just to see the look on their faces when the clock hits 00:00 and Patriots superiority reigns triumphant.
8.) Call every Eagles fan you know, laugh hysterically, hang up.

If you're un-american and support terrorism, I did come up with a few places for you to hit up this weekend:

Friday: Check out Ports of Call and In The Fur, playing North Star. 9p.m. $8.

Saturday: Crooked Looks headlines The Khyber, but get there early to see East hundred. 9p.m. $8.

Sunday: If it wasn't Super Bowl Sunday, I'd be first in line to see Dan Deacon at First Unitarian. I'm always up for a sweaty dance party, just not this day. 7:30p.m. $10-$12


I better go get working on that list,
Josh
