January comes to a close on Friday, and with it, the Casbah's fastest-selling-out show of the anniversary month. The tickets for Rocket From the Crypt sold out in two minutes, and the Internet was not at all happy about that. For the lucky ticketholders, however, the night is going to rock. For everyone else, there are some killer options, like MXPX at the Irenic, Frankie Rose at Soda Bar and the final show of Sunday Times, at Tower Bar. These are just a few of many offerings, and I suspect the Belly Up, Lestat's and 710 Beach Club will be bumpin' as well.
