The first full week of work after the holidays is always a killer. Sure, you come in on Monday morning, buzzed and amped for the week ahead, but by Thursday you're as defeated and tired as Dilbert on quaaludes.
Re-energize, then, this weekend with some of these inexpensive entertainment options. Also, feel free to hype your own event in the comments section. Anything goes. Some events are 21-and-up. As always, call ahead before venturing out.
In December, locals Blood Pony opened for the Rural Alberta Advantage and the Shaky Hands at Off Broadway. The sextet's vibrant indie-pop fit perfectly alongside the rickety charm of the former and the classic-rock-leaning propulsion of the latter. 7:30 p.m. Free.

This weekly dance party at Sol Lounge (4239 Lindell Boulevard) in Midtown plays "90s pop, old-skool hip-hop, electro, remixes and videos." Before 11 p.m. there's no cover and it's $5 after that. More info is at

Love to drink? Harry's (2144 Market Street) be the place for you Friday if you are heading downtown. First the good news. The "ladies drink free" mantra applies here. For men, it'll cost you $10. To feel even more baller-like, there is free valet parking. But please, tip the driver.
Here's a poster with more information.
