Happy Birthday, Dear "Awesome"

Right on the heels of Linda's 15th birthday earlier this week is "Awesome"'s 5th birthday celebration, tonight at the Tractor. Yes, it was but five years ago this month that the talented comedy-art-pop septet played their first show at the Rendezvous' Jewelbox Theatre. That was 2004, a time of great strife and war; now it's 2009, and there's still great strife and war, but also hoverboards and robots and aliens to truth-melt your face off. It's called progress, people. So tonight is the night and the Tractor is the place to catch one of our most favorite local bands, along with openers We are Golden and Central Services. It's only $10 for the 9:30 p.m. 21+ show.
