Weekend Checklist

It's been the first cold snap of the year, so many of us can be forgiven for spending the work week cloistered in our little hidey-holes, clutching kleenexes and bottles of NyQuil in eternal vigilance. But it's the weekend now. Even viruses party on the weekends. And anyway, a little clear liquor over ice is just the thing to show all those boring bacteria that they are most unwelcome. With The Hopefuls, Dance Band, Strut and Shock, and The Lawrence Arms to keep you company this weekend, you'll hardly miss those microscopic freeloaders once they've been sent packing.
