The Obligatory Presidents Day Gag Entry

[Alleged Holiday] Unlike most of you, we're working at City Weekly today. Just not so much on the Salt Blog. If we'd jumped on this earlier, we could have been the 38th to drop a Presidents of the United State of America reference, not the 338th. Oh well ...

[Music] Home for the holiday? You're done with the familial obligation; now it's you time. Here's your electro-pop, chick-rock, drag queen, punk-show-filled weekend.

Thursday 11.22
Trapp Door (615 W. 100 South)
Thanksgiving night's foremost party, "Dance Evolution" is packed wall to wall with the uni-sexiest mix of culture you didn't know we had. This is the place to escape and dance your trypto-fanny off. DJ/DC spins the hottest jams of urban electro-pop with hosts Jake and Justice commencing your unanticipated weekend. Door at 9 p.m., $5 cover. BUT, if you don "oldy-timey" costume for this Inuit v. Pilgrim party, your admission is free.

Friday 11.23
Monk's (19 E. 200 South)
Is live chick-rock your thing? Head to this bomb shelter-turned-venue for a sweet Salt Lake City treat. Ever-elusive regional beloved Andale! graces the stage with front siren Memorie Morrison’s melodic tales of anxiety and job resentment. Opener Blackhole is … how do you say in Utah? … AWESOME. Door at 10 p.m., $5 cover.

Mynt Lounge, (63 W. 100 South)
For you who crave a more extra-ordinary edge, Crush is the club. Native "Glamor Tycoon" Matthew Landis hosts this see-and-be-scene. Local legend D.J. Nick James will be announcing plans for the super exclusive speakeasy "Night at the Disco." No one throws down underground N.Y. retro-ultra-beats like Nick. My sources tell me there will be a super-secret international celeb-utante threatening a mid-night show. Door at 10 p.m., $5 cover.

Saturday 11.24
Burt's Tiki Lounge (726 S. State)
If PBR specials, hot girls and dirty boys are what you seek. Headlining an all-star slam fest week-ender, local punk sensation Negative Charge takes you to a jolting climax. Door at 10 p.m., $5 cover. (Princess Kennedy)
