I've had a most excellent weekend living it up in this beautiful place we call home, but it's not over.... Far from it. If you're looking for music, catch an all ages show with Hawthorne Heights and Emery at the Irenic, or get some intellectual rhymes penetrating your dome at Soda Bar with Flynt Flossy and Turquoise Jeep. But the sleeper show tonight is Quali at Whistle Stop. So, if you can handle a late Sunday, you might want to make that your show of the night.
