HNDMD presents
the beat
This installment of HNDMD’s monthly electronic music night welcomes the psychedelic sounds and violin shreddin’ of The Galactic Effect with support from resident DJ Nick Garcia. We’d tell you to lace up your dancing shoes, but we aren’t exactly sure what qualifies as dancing shoes. Also, maybe your dancing shoes don’t have laces. Whatever you’re wearing is probably fine.

Doubles, Demons, and Dreamers
and dont forget drag
It’s time for the second half of the live art festival Doubles, Demons, and Dreamers, and if the alliteration doesn’t catch your attention, perhaps this will: a dad, a crab, a dentist and where things go when they’re gone. Or how about: an ode to rodent life and modern love? Come see what it is all about this weekend as the acts celebrate the tail end of Pride week.

Bob Saget
no more cardigans tour

Also, for those of you only know Bob Saget as the head of the Tanner household, note: his upcoming stand up show at the Wilbur is not appropriate for DJ, Steph, or Michelle—but it is sure to be a full house!
