Back before Tim Mays opened the Casbah, there was a little bar in town called the Pink Panther. It was gone long before I was old enough to drink, but it's the stuff of legend, even in today's bar scene. If you've ever wondered where the zebra and the pink panther at the Casbah came from, now you know. Celebrate the 25-year reunion tonight at the Casbah with Deadbolt, Manual Scan and the Amandas. If that's not your speed, White Arrows appear at Soda Bar, Homeless Sexuals promise a rousing set at Eleven, and the Blackout Party have an ugly sweater extravaganza at Riviera.
