PICK OF THE WEEK: Bonnie “Prince” Billy @ The Smell
Oh how I love The Smell. So sleazy. So scary. So fun. And despite a near-death experience last time I went, I look forward to returning. Wait–I’m sorry I’m thinking of Oki-Dog. Big show on Skid Row Tuesday night.

oh nice – timely choice. keep eyes peeled for a feature on Bar Costena prior to Tuesday’s show. Costena is the bar around the corner that will gladly open your beers for you, put them in a bag, and let you walk out the door to go to the smell (or wherever the hell else you feel like walking with a half dozen open beers in a dirty brown paper bag)
Don’t forget the “secret” Halloween warehouse party w/ Ima Robot on the 27th!

Thanks for your site. Love, and live by, the concert picks every week.
Coooool.
Damn. The concert pick of the week is one that I was hoping was going to fly under the radar since I missed the McCabes show and wanted to see him in an uncrowded venue. Ah well.. cest la vie!
Oscar: Thanks for the Ima Robot tip–the show’s on the list now.
B: You’re welcome and thanks for reading.
Jeannette: Just show up. If there’s too many people in your way you’re not stabbing fast enough.
Anytime Ronnie! Where are the concert ticket contests this week? No CSS or a $3 bus pass for the Secret Machines show tomorrow? LOL
Damn, the contests! Look now, Oscar. Thanks for the reminder though. I snoozed on this one and didn’t notice they were missing.
