Plans for the weekend: Up for debate
- The presidential debate is a go (apparently John McCain declared himself the winner before he confirmed he'd be showing up in Mississippi), so find yourself a comfortable spot to watch the fireworks, tonight at 7 on all channels. If you want to watch with Democratic partisans, the Salt Lake chapter of Drinking Liberally gathers every Friday, starting at 6:30, at Piper Down, 1492 S. State, Salt Lake City. (If you know of a Republican gathering, e-mail me and I'll include it here.)
- Speaking of politics, cha-chas, comedian Dennis Miller - who was a lot funnier (and a good deal more employable) before he turned into a right-winger - performs tonight at 7:30 at Kingsbury Hall, on the University of Utah campus, Salt Lake City. Tickets, from $35.50 to $59.50, available at the Kingsbury Hall web site. (Check out an interview of Miller by the Tribune's David Burger.)
- "Judy Garland in Concert," a multimedia music experience featuring the Utah Symphony, plays at 8 p.m. tonight and Saturday at Abravanel Hall, 123 W. South Temple, Salt Lake City. Tickets, from $34 to $58, available at ArtTix.
- Psychedelic indie jam-rockers Dr. Dog play tonight at 9 at Urban Lounge, 241 S. 500 East, Salt Lake City. Tickets are $12, at SmithsTix and 24Tix.
- The X96 Maverik Big Ass Show - which has been around long enough to see the word "ass" no longer be a radio taboo - runs Saturday from 11 a.m. to about 8 p.m. at Usana Amphitheatre, 5400 S. 6200 West, West Valley City. The lineup includes Shiny Toy Guns (pictured at left), Local H, Hawthorne Heights, From First to Last, Jack’s Mannequin, Ludo, Atreyu, Ten Years, Mindless Self Indulgence, Trapt and The Brobecks.
