MUSIC—The legendary, defunct EJ’s hosted a ton of great shows from 1995 to 2000. This weekend, Mike Thrasher—who got his start booking at EJ’s—celebrates the NE Sandy strip club-turned-rawk bar’s 20th anniversary by resurrecting all those good times, with two nights of bands that performed regularly at EJ’s, with cheap covers and $2 Pabsts!

COMEDY—Andie Main’s monthly LA-imported show Picture This! is a little like drunk Pictionary: Stand-ups tell jokes while illustrators try to keep up with them. It’s broad comedy for visual learners, this month teaming up illustrators like Ryan Alexander-Tanner (purveyor of Dave’s Killer Bread graphics) and Carolyn Main with such stand-ups as Emmett Montgomery, Scott Losse, and so many more.
