WEDNESDAY:
>>> HANDS UP IF YOU’RE READY TO FACE YOUR FAMILY TOMORROW THROUGH THE DENSE FOG OF A HANGOVER AND POSSIBLY BEING STILL DRUNK/HIGH! It’s an American tradition, you teabaggers, and if you hate this, YOU HATE FREEDOM. So let’s get to it, on this, The Biggest Drinking Night Of The Year (Or So We Are Told, Mostly By People Who Suspiciously Work In Bars):
>>> Broadzilla DJs are rocking a Gobble Gobble Hey party (see flyer at right) at Kung Fu Necktie, no cover, open bar from 10-11PM, and Thanksgiving treats. Now, if these little fuckers went to all the trouble to making a Turkey Ramone and then spend the night not playing Ramones but lame techno, trust me, there’s gonna be hell to pay. Cue up “Father Christmas” while you’re at it, kids: Daddy says it’s not too soon.
>>> At Silk City, the Thursday party Mo Money, No Problems moves to Wednesday with DJs Sammy Slice & Cool Hand Luke, with your host, Tu Phace.
>>> Down in South Philly, there’s the RockTits Thanksgiving Turkelator at the P.O.P.E.
>>> And gosh, almost too many get-together-with-old-friends scenes to mention, but we’ll try: It’s The Year 1989 w/Emynd & Bo Bliz on Thanksgiving Eve @ Johnny Brendas; Thanks Eve at PYT w/ Plastic Little’s Kurt aka Mr. Bombadillo and the Night Train gang; comedian Jim Breuer at the Keswick; and Bouffant Bangout Thanksgiving Eve at the Barbary. Man, your parents are gonna be PISSED.

THURSDAY:
>>> And now, a message from our old pal Eddie Austin:

DEAR TIPS,
I’m at the Kinkos on Market street, you know right next to the heralded CHAMPIONS pub.
let me tell you about this flyer, designed using COREL PRINT SHOP, on Windows 98 , on a Toshiba laptop.
the mouse, more like an erect nipple is in the middle of the keyboard.
I’m at Kinkos because they’re the only internet cafes in the city that still have a FLOPPY DISC drive.
gotta love a dell desktop .
recently i started bartending at Barbs on Sunday for the karaoke
So like i told all of Northern Liberties, when your aunt is taking to long to pass the succotash, lovingly call her a knucklehead.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

FRIDAY:
>>> Old heads: Quit complaining about the younger generation and how you hate their skinny jeans and their fanny packs and how it was all so much more pure and true back at the Khyber in the 1990s when everyone (male and female) looked like Janeane Garafolo, and go see Free Energy and The Tough Shits at Kung Fu Necktie. It’s time you made peace with your youngers, and we can’t think of a better way to start than with these two bands.
>>> Young heads: You wanna see how we did it back in the day, when acid and mushrooms were as readily available as cocaine, free PBR and herpes are today? Go see Three 4 Tens and Brother JT at the Khyber, and get in early on this 90s retro wave that is about to replace all your American Apparel shit with t-shirts of some band called “Cows.”
>>> You may remember reading on this site a few weeks back about the troubles our friends at the 941 Theater were having. If you have a mind to help — or are just looking for a good time, check out Fundraiser Gala for the 941 Theater at Starlight Ballroom.
>>> And finally, let’s get a soul clap going for Turnaround Vs. Immediate Two-Year Anniversary at the Barbary.

SATURDAY:
>>> Look at you, still going on this holiday weekend! Big shows abound: Meat Puppets and Asteroid #4 at World Cafe Live; Jay Reatard at Johnny Brenda’s; the beloved Moutain Goats at TLA; and Disco Biscuits at the Electric Factory.
>>> Still got the dance in you? Try Bleached Black at Medusa. But honestly: Are you on tryptophan inhibitors or something? And has no one told you about ABC Family?

SUNDAY:
>>> Christmas shopping? Check out the Off The Blanket Flea Market at Space 1026. Because nothing says “I love you” like some of Andrew Jeffrey Wright’s old heavy metal cassettes.
>>> And god love ya, you trooper: Wind down with ?uestlove at Silk City for the Sundae party.
