FeedLate January is, for all intents and purposes, the armpit of the year. Particularly this week, the dead week and weekend before the Super Bowl. It's cold. It's dark. It's opressive. In other words, it's Rush Limbaugh's favorite time of year.
But we know what you like: Immature YouTube videos! With all apologies to those of you with video blocked on your computers, we present this weekend's top things to do, each one with an accompanying immature YouTube video embedded to make your last hour of work go that much faster.
Friday
Q102 Presents As of Now, Fade 2 Fall, Can't Be 2 Jumpy at the Outland Ballroom, Cover TBA, 10 p.m.
Q102's been ratcheting up the local shows of late (we're happy). This one, complete with gratuituous "2's" is the latest. (Perhaps) little-known fact: Can't Be 2 Jumpy is made up of at least two former members of the now defunct A Day Away.

Doubt: A Parable at Vandivort Center Theatre at 7:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m., $12
This Pulitzer winning play, which is now an Oscar-nominated movie (or at least the actors) is undoubtedly the most self-serious movie about Catholicism since... well... the last movie about Catholicism. Honestly, though: Great local cast in an extremely fine story. Get out and support live theatre.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Hammons Hall, 8 p.m., $15-$45
Oh man, you wouldn't believe the hijinks that can happen at a spelling bee, particularly when the participants are from a part of the country not particularly adept at... you know... learned'em.

Saturday
Studio 54 Party at ICON Night Club, 9 p.m., no cover until 10 p.m.
The 70's are back, man. Party like a rock star (or a porn star) tonight at ICON. No cover before 9 p.m.
Immature YouTube video: The trailer for the '90s film 54. (Yes, that's Mike Myers)
Berlin Drop, Levee, Saldbox, Cooper's Wish List at Nathan P. Murphy's, 8 p.m., Cover TBA
We love shows at Murphy's (bartender Wanda, random dancing, no smoking, men can pee and still see the show), and we haven't seen Levee in forever.
Immature YouTube video: Numa Numa boy (cause no list is complete without him)
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin at Patton Alley Pub, 9 p.m., Cover TBA
Yeltsin ends its live-show hiatus by playing its first show at Patton Alley. 'Bout time, boys.
Immature YouTube video: Kid gets pounded with a cookie sheet for doing nothing more than sleeping late
Sunday
Slumdog Millionaire at the Moxie, 1:15, 4:00, 6:45 p.m., $8
It's still playing! You still have time to see it before that lady in your office who is constantly stuck in "late-follower" status sees it and makes fun of you 'cause you haven't!
Immature YouTube video: The totally-not-geeks doing an acoustic version of M.I.A.'s Paper Planes (which is given a particularly enthralling treatment in the Slumdog soundtrack).
Members Only/Art Bentley/Shawn and Marcus at Coesters/Brew Co./Ebbets (respectively), all 9 p.m., all free
If you like to listen to music and drink beer, you can't go wrong with any of these.

'Til next week!
