This week is full of anticipation for Halloween and not much else! You could go listen to Garth Brooks downtown or catch the Tony Conrad doc at Belcourt tonight. You can see Danny Brown or get in the spirit with Scanners at Belcourt on Wednesday, BUT THEN IT COMES… Halloween pre-eekend (right?). Friday is wild: spook jooks from Lucky Bamboo to Soft Junk, Drkmttr to some impressive spot Sparkle City found downtown, Saturday winds down a hair with Portal at the East Room and Lylas at Betty’s, and Sunday isn’t even undead it’s just straight up dead. Getch yore costumes ready y’all. Monday’s the big night!
