If you're really looking for the opposite of the Christmas movie genre, check out The Vic Theater's Brew and View this week. They've got Team America: World Police and Southpark: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut for your pleasure. Admission is just $5 for all movies. The first movie starts at 8 p.m. You must be 18+, and 21+ with ID to drink. The Vic is located at 3145 N. Sheffield, just south of Belmont.
Tonight brings complimentary martinis, manicures and other services to fashionable clothing stores Hot Pink, located at 1464 N. Milwaukee Ave. and 3138 N. Broadway, Chicago, from 6–10 p.m. The services rotate monthly, so for information on tonight's offerings call (773) 227-7477 or (773) 871-2131.
Tonight's Hideout Kelly Hogan & The Wooden Leg show at the Hideout has been billed as "soul r&b make-out jazz with a limp" which makes me want to rocket on down to 1354 W. Wabansia right now. There will be two sets, at 10 and 11:30 p.m. respectively. Get it on with holiday songs tonight!
