Dear GYA, It seems people are still pretty upset about all those Burger Kings in the UK serving horse meat. First off, people need to take a deep breath and relax. If you watch Game of Thrones then you'd know we humans have been eating horse meat since the the ancient Dothraki roamed the plains of Essos. ---Yep, that's a free history lesson. Anything good happening today besides eating horse? - Gretchen Pronto, Midvale
Gretchen, I couldn't agree more -- a little horse never hurt anybody. Unless you're caught in a stampede of little horses. That could be hell. Anyway, here's what's up for today:
- Local three-piece indie band The 2:13s will be throwing a CD Release Party at The Urban Lounge. Check out CW Music Editor Austen Diamond's interview with the band. Spooky Moon, ’90s Television and Roe & Spenser will open things up. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $5 at the door.
- Young-adult-fiction writer Kasie West will be reading and signing her new book, Pivot Point, at The King's English Bookshop. The reading starts at 7 p.m.
- Six-time Grammy-winning Irish band The Chieftains will be performing at Kingsbury Hall. Tickets are $28.50 to $54.50; if you have a student ID, they're $5. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.
