True Colors Tour with Cyndi Lauper, the B-52s, Tegan and Sara, The Clicks, Rosie O'Donnell and some Queer Guy @ Target Center, 38-128 bucks, 6:30. We've got box seats, dudes!
The Benny Weinbeck Group @ Brix Bistro & Wine Bar, zero bucks, 6:30. Benny's a good piano player and good guy.
Roe Family Singers @ 331, zero bucks, 9:00. I have no further commentary as I am not familiar with these Singers but it is free and gin/vodka tonics are only $2.50. I think I got drunk there once on such a night. That's cheap!
