Things To Do: Wednesday

I'm still sick so I missed all the Casbah fun last night, but since this cold won't go away with rest, tonight I'll be drowning this bitch of a cold with saké at the Wine Vault. If you would like to join me and Andrea, e-mail me. We'll probably go around 7:00 and drink our five tasters ($12), while we snack on our sushi plates ($10). I apologize that I forgot to list last night's Tower Bar Eating Contest which was Gyoza and Saké. Damn, I know I could've won that one.

On with the week: (Note:moved other listings to new posting)

Wednesday, December 20, 2006:

• Ozomatli with Quetzal @ House Of Blues
• Ben Brewer (of The Exit, acoustic set) & Spell Toronto @ Beauty Bar $5. Proceeds go to (Red), you know, that thing Oprah and Bono are promoting that gives money to Aids Relief for Africa. Hosted bar from 8-9pm, $3 u-call-its from 9-11pm.
• Free Shit: Mercury (the automaker) is hosting "Discover the '08 Mariner" at 4th and B from 6-10 pm. Free Oxygen Bar, chair massages, spa cooking demos, etc.
• Drop Joy, Morning Riot, and Zombie Surf Camp @ O'Connell's

I also just want to comment that as shows wind down 2006 and bands take breaks, there are still plenty of things going on at your neighborhood bars. Big P still has half priced drinks on Wednesdays from 8-11 at the Tower, $1 draft PBRs tonight at the Zombie, Jeff $2 PBR and $3 Jim Beam shots at the Ken Club, and plenty of other deals around town. Go show your bartenders some love around the holidays. They take care of you year round and many of them will be there faithfully open on Christmas Eve and Christmas. Let them know they are appreciated.
