Anyway, it is written (by me, just now) that it's going to be a decent weekend, if you poke around a little bit. Tonight you've got: Joe Robinson at 12th & P; Quichenight with The Lonely H and Buffalo Clover at The 5 Spot; Eric Clapton and The Wallflowers at Bridgestone; Paul Van Dyk at Anthem; and more. Tomorrow you're looking at: Warm Soda with Ben Spinks Supermelt at The Stone Fox; Desert Noises and more at The Basement; Hey Marseilles early at Grimey's and later on at The High Watt; Alanna Royale with Milktooth and more at Mercy; Hurts To Laugh at FooBar; and more. Have a look at the rest — compiled by Adam "Donkey Ride" Gold — after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have yourselves a kickass weekend.
