Well, this week was more of an emotional roller coaster then we anticipated: Two Castledoor members said goodbye, Club Ding-a-ling celebrated 3 years of being the best Tuesday weekly of the last 3 years (pictured above), Mary Lynn Rajskub performed one of the most unconformable comedy routines we've ever seen, and Ferraby Lionheart capped off his month-long residency at the Bootleg by pre-releasing his new record The Jack of Hearts ("Pocketknife" is a hit). And, last night, apparently 2.3 katrillion people wept at the sight of young ladies skating on ice. So, yeah, emotional week. And why not keep this roller coaster going with this weekend's shows...
