***Recommended Show of the Week***
White Stripes, M Ward @ Greek
I don’t like recommending $40+ shows at big venues. But Thursday night’s White Stripes/M Ward show is the one to see this week. It’ll be just like a night at Chili’s. The masses know exactly what they’re going to get. The White Stripes will perform solidly, not unlike an order of Chili’s Baby Back Ribs. Your friend will order an Awesome Blossom and it will piss you off because you don’t think you like whole fried deep fat fried onions and the name’s goofy. But then you’ll try some, love it and become an Awesome Blossom evangelist.

M Ward is that Awesome Blossom. Don’t miss him. If you have tickets for another night try to trade for Thursday tickets.
