The Shook Twins headline The Bartlett Wednesday.
The darkness that comes oh-so-early these days might have you a little disconcerted, but look at it as an opportunity to get out on the town and throw down and still get to bed at a decent hour. Or, if you REALLY love the nightlife, there's all the more to enjoy! Win-win.
Check out our event listings and Staff Picks for some great things going down around town. Here are some highlights of the week ahead:
Monday, Nov. 14
FOOD & DRINK | Just in time for the holidays, learn how to make gluten-free cookies and Mexican Cocoa at a Kitchen Engine workshop.

COMMUNITY | Help celebrate Spokane Tribe Heritage Day at a day-long party at the Spokane County fairgrounds and Expo Center.
THEATER | More pertinent than ever is Black Boy, a theater production built from the prose of Richard Wright's exploration of growing up in the Jim Crow South. It's worth a trip to Pullman for this Literature to Life event.
Wednesday, Nov. 16
LIVE MUSIC | If you like a little ring-a-ding-ding swing as well as modern pop music, you might want to hit the Fox for Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, a band that takes current hits and twists them into classic sounds. Here's a sample:
