We’re throwing ourselves a party!
You know how after the holidays there’s always a dark, silent stretch where there’s nothing to do but huddle around the radiator and stare forlornly at your S.A.D. lights? It’s not our favorite time of year. So we decided to make our own fun. We’ve never had a proper anniversary party for the Twin Cities edition of The Onion—hell, we’re not even sure when our anniversary is, so we’re making one up: Jan. 7. In celebration of our 1,143rd issue, we’ve booked a nifty lineup at First Avenue that includes Pink Mink, BNLX, Zebulon Pike, Fuck Knights, Grant Cutler & The Gorgeous Lords, DJ Jake Rudh, and a secret headliner that we aren’t quite ready to unveil. There will also be karaoke in the Entry all night long with Joel Stitzel and The Infernal Singalong Machine. And we’re not even finished lining up all the awesome stuff that will happening off-stage. We’re like those kids whose parents just had to spring for the pony and the clown and the magician for the birthday party. (Except in this scenario, we’re also the parents, so we can instate a firm “no clowns” rule for the evening.) Trust us—there will be so much to do, you won’t even miss your S.A.D. light.
