\nDean Brody, Small Town Pistols
\nMcPherson Playhouse, $29.50, 8 pm
\nWe live near a gun range. The family likes to go for walks through the forest trails, one of which puts us directly behind any number of different weapons banging and powing at targets behind a fenced perimeter. A week ago we managed to hear a woodpecker amidst all the shots. It was amazing to see this beautiful bird so close to us, completely oblivious to the kerfuffle happening some 30 feet away.<\/p>\n

\nDJ TechCows, DJ Miami Nights 1984<\/i>
\nCastle Video Bar (at Paul\u2019s Motor Inn), $10, 9 pm
\nMy second car was a front-wheel drive 1979 Oldsmobile Tornado with a V8 engine that my dad decided to get painted black. Somehow it got the nickname \u201cDeath\u201d from one of my friends and it just happened to stick. In the winter I\u2019d pack the car full of buddies to go cause some sort of ruckus. More than a few times we ended up just finding an empty parking lot and doing donuts. I always liked to practice what I called \u201cThe Miami Vice.\u201d Pin it in reverse, spin around 180 degrees, and slam it into drive. Maybe that\u2019s why that car caught fire a few months later.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 26
\nAK-47, Alcoholic White Trash, Car 87, Orange Krush<\/i>
\nLogan\u2019s Pub, $10, 9:30 pm
\nI was always more of a C-Plus guy. Not my grades, those were mostly above average, but I liked the fact that C-Plus tasted more like fizzy juice than actual pop. Grape Crush, on the other hand, was great! Once, one of my friends thought it would be a good idea to try snorting a Slurpee. It might have been grape. He said something about experiencing \u201ctrue brain freeze\u201d before screaming in excruciating pain.<\/p>\n

\nWhitehorse, Daniel Romano<\/i>
\nUpstairs Cabaret, $25, 7 pm
\nGrowing up in the Yukon was a blessing. It\u2019s amazing how wide open and free the wilderness was to explore. You really had to enjoy winter though. If you don\u2019t like cold, snow, darkness, or any combination of those things, then most of the time the Yukon is not for you. It\u2019s funny what becomes normal when you really don\u2019t know anything else. Going to school when it\u2019s dark as night and coming out in the afternoon to the same amount of light could really mess with some folks.<\/p>\n

Friday, February 1
\nBlackalicious, DJ Anger, The Cold Residents, Skulastic<\/i>
\nSugar Nightclub, $24, 9 pm
\nWhat is it about some flavours that just make people cringe? I am not a fan of black licorice, in any form. I think I might\u2019ve tried a flaming Ouzo shot once, but that pretty much shut the door on any other attempts to try anything even remotely related to black licorice flavouring. Give me a regular cherry Twizzler any day. Hell, I love almost any of those ludicrous flavours of licorice: blue, pink, yellow, but if you try to sneak black in there, forget about it.<\/p>\n

Friday and Saturday, February 1 and 2
\nThe Gettin\u2019 Higher Choir, Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright<\/i>
\nAlix Goolden Hall, $20, 7 pm
\nOne of the older skateboarders in Whitehorse had a VW van that we\u2019d pile into for random missions into the bush. I think it was one day on the way home with another older kid that I had my first cigarette. It was an Export \u2018A\u2019 that used to come in the green package. They were \u201cgreen death\u201d for a reason. After the unbelievable head rush that I experienced, I probably should have just left well enough alone. It took me 10 years and three attempts to quit. I was dumber than I thought back then.<\/p>\n

\nSugar Nightclub, $26, 8 pm
\nPushing mongo sucks. Don\u2019t do it. Friends don\u2019t let friends push mongo. If you don\u2019t understand what I\u2019m talking about, you probably push mongo. Heal yourself. Fix it. Google what I\u2019m talking about and then never again allow it to happen. It\u2019s a terrible epidemic that has taken over many forms of skateboarding in the past dozen years. But it is preventable. Only you can prevent mongo pushing. Give a hoot! Don\u2019t push mongo!<\/p>\n
