Skate or Die! @ The St. Louis Skatium

Cassie Morgan and crew playing Breeders songs), Celia's Big Rock Band and FIRE DOG. 10 p.m. $10 admission includes skates. Attendees are encouraged to "dress scary." Facebook event.

Saturday:
DJ Mahf's Third-Annual Halloween Funk Jam @ The Fox Hole at Atomic Cowboy
