what's going on tonight?

It's pretty much the usual suspects for a Thursday. Lay low and hit open mic night at Fountain City Coffee. Or you can travel across the river and see house band Peggy Jenkins and the Rythm Roosters at Broad Street Blues (913 Broad St., Phenix City). The $5 starts at 9 p.m.

Other options? Shake your groove thing with tunes spun by DJ Che at The Vault. It's $5, but ladies are in free. The fun starts at 8 p.m.

As far as live music goes, probably your best bet is Soho Bar & Grill, which is slated to feature
Bulletproof Marshmallows, a reggae/rock band that hails from Montgomery, Ala. The show begins at 10 p.m. It's $5, free for the ladies.

Have fun, be safe and get ready for the weekend!
