Too bad I'm broke

Another weekend, another series of outstanding entertainment events in downtown Oshkosh. Time is limited so I'll not beat around the bush; perhaps later I'll head back in and change this all around to make it snapper, but if so you won't see the words you see now:

In the Thursday night cocktails series tonight at the Water City Grill, Patchwork will perform. No cover, starts around 9p.

Friday gets neatly tied up by Peabody's Ale House with the whammy that is Drop Dead Giants, Self-Evident, and Sunday Flood, no cover, 10p.

Saturday…why does Saturday always have to be complicated? The Algoma Club is hosting a fundraiser for a local food shelter: Aaron Baer, The Grande Arnaque, and Patchwork (in I believe that order) will be taking the stage, $5 or $3 with a nonperishable (ugly word) food item, 8p. Slightly later the Tom Waits tribute band Raindogs will perform at Peabody's, no cover, 9:30p.

Then oven to the Reptile Palace for Sunday and Tuesday nights. Sunday gives us This Bright Apocalypse, Patrol, and Happy…no cover, 9p. Tuesday is another in the series of EDM (Emcees, Deejays, and Musicians) nights starring a host of local scenesters, also 9p, no cover.

If you see me, buy me a drink. Please?
