I don't know what else will make the final cut, but these will...

8pm
Boone, Topheavy, Doom Buggies, Dave Clark Band, The Buckners
at O'Brien’s, 3 Harvard St, Allston

I'll be here to bask in wall-to-wall rock -- and maybe the renovated O'Briens still has cheap PBR...? Complaints/compliments gladly accepted in person.

FRI 2/22

Thunderdome XI
at Greek American Political Club, 1st floor, 288 Green St, Cambridge (Central Sq)

A giant, sweaty dance party. People who want to dance but don't like dance clubs should feel welcome here. I heard the guy that organizes Thunderdome is moving.

Silent Dance Experiment
at Faneuil Hall in front of the Sam Adams Statue
FREE

These random, public 'interactive performances' seem to be sweeping Boston. If you have an mp3 player, you might want to join in the fun... The special mix mp3 file is available, but you're not supposed to listen to it until you get there...

Boston Globe Travel Show
at Seaport World Trade Center, 1 Seaport Lane, Boston

Had I been on top of this, I could have told you how to get free advance tix, but I thought they'd still be available today and tomorrow... A great resource for travel/vacation info without contacting a travel agent...

Hallelujah The Hills, Amoroso, Titus Andronicus
at Milky Way Lounge, 403 Centre St, Jamaica Plain

Hallelujah The Hills is kicking off their tour with a free show (but you could kick in a buck or two). Maybe they'll be too big to play the Milky Way when they return... Or not.
