Weekly Radar Report
Posted under: Here are a few events that should be on your radar this week:
Monday, May 16 – Instrumental band Mogwai is playing at Stubbs tonight. The Scottish band’s songs feature melodic guitar and heavy distortion, resulting in a transcendental sound that’s a little like a waking dream. Doors are at 7 pm, tickets here.
Tuesday, May 17 – It’s Tittie Boingo night at the Highball. “In the greatest partnership since tequila and karaoke, we’ve decided to combine a game show with edited versions of porn parodies.” We’re not sure exactly what to expect at this event but with $2 Lone Stars and $4.50 wells, it’s sure to be a good time.
Wednesday, May 18 – This May is bike month, so why not dig your wheels out of the garage and start pedaling? FastFolks is starting up a weekly ride for all the lady cyclists tired of the testosterone-fests other group rides can often be. Meet at FastFolks downtown at 8:30 pm to begin.

Anyone want to hit up the Renegade Craft Fair with me?
I would but I won’t be able to stay long – I have class at noon. Does Saturday or Sunday work better?
Ooh, and don’t forget Master Pancake’s Cage-athon has two more showings this weekend. It’s hilarious!
