MUSIC—Put some shine on your best pair of boots tonight, and go howl at the moon with Denver, the band that made alcohol- and misery-soaked country music fun again. Sorry for all your heartache, boys, but maybe it was worth it for the harmonies. MARJORIE SKINNER

COMEDY—Portland stand-up Veronica Heath tells the best mini-horse and marriage dissolution jokes around, so we need her good and healthy! Unfortunately, Heath’s been sidelined by health-related woes, so naturally, the comedians of Portland are fighting back with tonight’s benefit, Operation Unicorn. Practically every fucking Portland comedian is going to be at this show, and so should you. MEGAN BURBANK
