This isn't our awards show; that's happening three days later at the Granada Theater.
This is just a chance for you to check out as many of these talented local acts as you can. The night stretches from 7 p.m. until almost 2 a.m., with new performances kicking off at the five participating stages at the top of every hour.
You can find info on the tickets here, and, maybe I'm biased, but it seems like a pretty reasonable deal to me. If you buy your $10 pass in advance, you get a wristband that gets you access to all five of the participating venues, as well as your choice of a T-shirt or our 16-track compilation CD.
