Glad You Asked: Weekend Edition
Posted By Colin Wolf on December 28, 2012, 2:00 PM
Dear GYA, I'm scanning the local radio stations right now and I'm noticing something a bit peculiar -- the Christmas music ... it's ... stopped. No chestnuts over an open fire, no Mariah Carey, not even a single "ba rumpa pum pum"; nothing. The weird thing is, now that it's gone, I kinda miss it. I guess you could say I crave it. Anything happening this weekend to help quit Christmas jingles cold-turkey? - Marissa Grontleberry, Ogden---
Marissa, This time of year can be tough for some people. They pump you full of Christmas cheer for a month straight, then they just take it away without any remorse. Luckily for you, there are some decent options for your weekend. Let's start with Friday:
- For some hockey action, check out the Utah Grizzles as they take on the Ontario Reign tonight at the Maverik Center, beginning at 7.
- Latin/World Beat band Samba Fogo will be onstage at Urban Lounge. Doors open at 9 p.m.
