With so many wonderful holiday benefit shows coming, we sure as heck better not get any more snow. We get an inch of rain, no one bats an eye. We get an inch of snow, the entire city shuts down.
At the forefront of the yuletide festivities is Three Imaginary Girls’ Holiday Office Party featuring The Tripwires, The Young Evils, and Jose Bold. Did I mention this year’s celebrity Santa is the one and only John Vanderslice?! Did I mention he’ll also be playing a set?!! Did I mention it’s all to benefit Teen Feed?!!! What’s not to love? The show is TONIGHT at the Columbia City Theater. Things kick off at 7PM. (get tickets)
