I am so ready for the weekend, it's not even funny. As a kid of the '90s, you can find me at Mudhoney with the sold-out crowd, rockin' out and letting the nostalgia wash over me. But if you didn't get tickets to the Casbah or the sold-out show with LP at the Observatory North Park, or the sold out '80s night with Betamaxx at the Belly Up, you've still got some solid options, including singer-songwriter Griffin House at Soda Bar, our friends the Paragraphs playing the Pour House, or OrchidXMantis at Bar Pink.
