Admission is FREE if you show up dressed like David Bowie. (Sidenote: I once saw David Bowie crossing the street near me and a group of friends in NYC. When one of them pointed him out, he looked at us. We all looked in amazement and jerked forward towards him at the same time. He turned quickly and took off. Being all pretty good concertgoers, we decided to give him his privacy, and stopped ourselves from chasing after him. Then, we walked a couple feet, turned and looked at each other, and started screaming with joy while we high-fived. That’s my David Bowie story. Cheers!) Howard House, (Please contact one of the acts or venue for more info.), 8pm, $7 (Free if in Bowie attire), All Ages – Q.D. Tran
