  PBR Gambler Days

  Your local bull-riding squad hosts the rest of the PBR teams to compete in a three-day smorgasbord of hooting, hollering, bucking, and horn-dodging. Here’s to hoping the home team goes the full eight seconds without meeting the business end of the bull. Spoiler: Both sides of the bull are the business end.

  Riot Fair

  I’ve analyzed the projections and looked at all the research: My conclusion is rock solid. Yes, I’ve concluded that this Thursday night on Fourth Street will be a riot … for Riot Fair, that is. Tear down the house with host Riot Girl, cast members Titty Androgynous & Venus Rising, and DJ Ruby Knight. Their drag spectacular will shock white streaks in your hair, spin your chair, and make you shout – as will the nice early start time of 8:30pm. Look, sometimes you need to riot responsibly on a school night! – James Scott

  Thursdays, 8pm. 18+, $10; 21+, free.
