Insider Picks
It was 5 lonley degrees when we got up this morning to go get our coffee but the weather girl says it might get up to 50 this weekend so make sure you put your boots on and get out there to see all the ice sculputures, its a fun event we all look forward to each year. As for your night life, two of our friends are playing out tonight, go catch a set with Janine Graham at the Lyceum then head over to Gulu Gulu for some late night with RSVP. If you like Guns n’ Roses then Dodge Street is the place to be on Saturday night as the ever popular Cocaine Tongue is blowing the doors off the place.
This is also the closing weekend for the Salem Theatre Company’s production of “NO EXIT” at the Griffen Theater on Lynde Street. Friday and Saturday @ 8pm, Sunday @ 2pm. Tickets online at http://www.salemtheatre.com.
