What to do this weekend

The Eastside has it going on this weekend! On Saturday, Sept 3, celebrate 100 years of the Cobalt with a block party:

If you hit the street party, be sure to check out the alley behind F As In Frank (2425 Main St) for their alley sale! $10 gets you as much as you can shove in a shopping bag. From 11am-4pm. Vintage. Swag.

Sunday, Sept 4, Apocalypstick celebrates its first anniversary. That’s 50 shows! Legendary Isolde N Barron will be performing, as will darling Peach Cobblah. Show starts at 11, so stop being so fucking cool and get there before midnight.

Happy weekend!
