NYE with old friends
You could bring a few friendly voices into your home via the cutely titled Pants Optional NYE Jam, a concert live from the Hook and Ladder Theater in Minneapolis. The lineup includes Dave Simonett of Trampled By Turtles and Dead Man Winter, Lady Lark, Drag Queen Lip Sync Battle, The Mall (which has members of Solid Gold, Cecil Otter of Doomtree and Jacob Mullis of Fort Wilson Riot) and Your Smith (DJ set).
It ends with a countdown to 2021.
