For all intents and purposes, it’s the week of Christmas already (we know – Christmas isn’t until Monday, which is technically next week, but this publication runs through Tuesday, so that counts for us). Therefore, it’s sort of a light week on the entertainment front. We couldn’t find any theater listings, but there’s still plenty of music to be heard and movies to be seen this week.
Take a look.

Dave Gerard will play at Hermanos Cocina Mexicana at 6:30 p.m.
