Final Nightfall
Can you believe Nightfall is already on its last show of the season? The musical lineup is always top-notch, but so is the time spent hanging out with friends enjoying the urban outdoors in the center of the city. This week's show features Quiet Company. And, as the title of their debut CD suggests, Nightfall is just another place where "we are all where we belong." Be there.

Fishbone in concert
The original "godfathers of black punk" have been making music since high school in the 1970s.

Whether you were there then or not is no matter. Be there this weekend because it's free and you can.
