Everyone's headed out for fun in the sun this week... and when they get home, it sure looks like they're heading straight to Missed Connections. And sure enough, things are getting weird.

Porno theaters and biker haunts, streams of punk rockers flowing from bar to street to bar again, stitched up in Germs gear and Buzzcocks back patches.

Years after making waves at Babe’s of Carytown, ANIMAL is lighting up the River City once more at The Hof. You know the place. Pulsing bass and treble under your feet, around your head.

We've also got a run on sweatpants this time around, which...
