This fine fellow is certainly ready for a rockin' time.
Determined not to let you spend Thanksgiving locked away with the extended family whose names you may or may not remember come Christmas, this Examiner has compiled a list of awesome/fun things to do in lieu of giving thanks over a plate of cold turkey, box mashed potatoes and packaged gravy. Enjoy!
Alex’s Bar
Thanksgiving, Thurs., Nov 27, 2008- Anytime a rockabilly/punk/scene joint advertises a Thanksgiving Spectacular you know you’re in for something special. Especially when that spectacular is free. Starring DJ Al-Wrecks and quite possibly a support team of brigands and ne’er do wells guzzling their weight in PBR, show your thanks to the puritan travelers by spreading debauchery and grinning like a fool.
Saturday, Nov. 29, 2008- The LEGENDARY Phil Shane. You don’t want to miss this. Also, FREE.
2913 E. Anaheim St.
