Shove thy neighbor

QUESTION: My commitment-phobic boyfriend of several years is also my neighbor. I resolved to make it work with him and then caught him on FriendFinder exchanging numerous messages with some woman in Tijuana. He claimed he was just being friendly.

Friday, Jan. 27-Saturday, Jan. 28: Big Mini Golf Classic

Nothing supports the arts like mini golf. Or putt-putt golf. Or whatever you call it. Yes, it's true. While smacking the ball through the windmill and past the sand trap might not seem like it has anything at all to do with helping bring the fine arts to the stage

One thing you've got to credit comedians for is their work ethic. No, seriously, hear us out on this one.

Sunday, Jan. 29: Hey Girl

The band Hey Girl is totally Olympia. Sludgy, grungy, dirty and totally cute. And I mean cute in a garage punk way. It makes you wanna crush on the three-piece band, based on their live performances and relatable lyrics - like in the song "Pizza Girl," where the delivery diva

Saturday, Jan. 28: Trees Without Leaves

On the opening track of Trees Without Leaves' album, Don't Say Uh Uh!, a master of ceremonies comes on to announce the band, in grand fashion, before they come barreling out in full, goofy force. The over-the-top blues rock of Trees Without Leaves is indebted to the similarly winking tradition

Friday, Jan. 27: Jeremy Jay
