Hell is still frozen apparently. The Eagles perform at the TD Banknorth Garden tonight and again on Wednesday. Tickets are still available. I’m not going to bother to give ticket prices.

Upstairs at the Middle East check out Show Me Action, Lights Resolve, and One Flesh
9pm - 18+ $9
It’s The Other Side Of The Bear Acoustic Series tonite at T.T’s . Go see Oranjuly, Sodafrog and Matt Hebert all for the low, low price of $3. Big difference from the Eagles.
