Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition

THE BEAT NEVER DID STOP: YO, Son!, possibly the best hip-hop club night in Seattle (featured in Rolling Stone, at one point, even) and one that's been going strong for years, is having a "Classic Edition" 7th anniversary party at the War Room on Saturday. B-Mello and DV One will be spinning classic hip-hop (yesssss) all night. The party should rock hard and steady late into the night, if we know hip-hop heads in this town (and we do), so come early and stay until the wee hours to get your fix for the weekend.

9 p.m., Saturday// War Room // $5 before 11 p.m., $10 after // 21+

MERRY PUNKING CHRISTMAS: Screw the snow and the roads and the damn icy sidewalks. Dude, it's Christmastime, which means you dye your hair green and red, spike it up, and head out to the Funhouse tomorrow night for PunKristmas. After taking last year off, the punk rock Christmas spectacular is back for its fourth go-round. Dreadful Children, Sledgeback, and Enemies Of round out this year's bill. Go out and spread some fucking yuletide cheer.

9:30 p.m. // The Funhouse // $5 // 21+

MIDNIGHT MOVIE: This weekend's midnight movie at the Egyptian is The Dark Crystal. Synopsis: "Two elfin beings search for the missing shard to an all-powerful crystal that can save their world from evil." There are wizards, dragons, and a global crisis. And, it's a Jim Henson movie. Sweet!

Midnight, Fri. & Sat. // Egyptian Theatre // $9.50
