Things To Do: Dec 15, 16, 17

No show to report on last night as I spent the evening at the CityBeat Holiday Party. (I love you all, CityBeat peeps!) Super D and a couple other bands played at the Sports Club during the party, but the one song I heard while waiting for the bathroom doesn't qualify me to review them. My lovely dog did have a face to face with a skunk in my backyard which was über fun dealing with at 1 in the morning. Beat that for a story.
