:: Thursday, December 20, 2001 ::

In case you need a break from holiday shopping as much as I do. Things to do, things to look forward to:

First Annual Nut Crak 'n' Pop Show / Toy Drive
Friday, December 21
Humbert | Whirlaway | Dolly Rocker | Panda Bite | Bling Bling | The Curious Hair
Churchill's
9:00 p.m.
Admission is $5, or bring in a $5-toy donation for the Hialeah branch of Toys for Tots.

Swivel Stick, Para, Perfect Candidate
Sunday, December 23
Gables Pub

It's time this smart, hilarious Pennsylvania boy brought us his proverbial "Package" ( his music paraphernalia, you understand ) down to the SoFla:

Atom and His Package
with surprise special local guest ( tba )
Friday, January 18
Revolver

And as a bit of a sidenote, if you happen to be in or around Orlando on Monday, January 21, go check out The Strokes with Har Mar Superstar at the House of Blues. Should be one hell of a show, and it's definitely worth car-pooling or road-tripping to. Plan accordingly.
