But, sober or not, it would be a shame to miss out on a Champaign-Urbana bonanza bigger than the Campus-wide tradition: An evening of total pop-punk-punk-rock-pseudo-punky-brewster-party-music at Mike n' Molly's, featuring local all-stars Horrible Things, still going strong after the release of Dumb Days. Also catch Springfield's Hospital Job, Chicago's WitchFeet, and local golden boy Single Player.
