She still isn't set to grace us with her presence any time soon.

So Lady GaGa isn’t coming to campus this weekend (sorry Dr. Palazzo), but Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, All Time Low, Metro Station and Hey Monday are! I guess they’ll have to do… Here’s what’s going on the rest of this lopsided weekend.

Friday 4/24

Take a ride downtown on the free Troy Night Out Shuttles, leaving from the Union hourly from 5-9. (fbook)

Check out the local scene. It’s the last Troy Night Out while we’re all still here, so why not head downtown to grab dinner, or check out the EMAC/EART exhibit at the Arts Center in Monument Square. If you have never been to a Troy Night Out, we strongly encourage you to check it out. It is lots of fun, and tonight is your last chance this semester!

Get dancin’ The Official Unofficial TNO Afterparty hosted by goodship is FREE this month! A must do. (fbook)

Not Avenue Q, but still puppets. EMPAC hosts Basil Twist and his show Dogugaeshi at 8pm. The show is influenced by japanese “stage mechanism puppetry.” Johannes says “Eet’s jaust greate”. (empac)

Valkyrie plays in UPAC Cinema in DCC 308 at  7, 9:30, and midnight for the usual $2.50. (imdb)

Let’s hope its just a play. Assassins! is at the playhouse tonight at 8pm and other times this weekend. (players)

Those Idiots again? One of our hilarious improv groups Sheer Idiocy presents their last show of the semester tonight in Mothers starting at 8pm. This comedy will cost you nothing but your time. (fbook)

Air and Fume Hood Exhaust (CII) Favorite event of the weekend by far. (Is this a band?) Hold your breath when you walk by the CII? (rpical)

The rest of the weekend is begging you to check it out…

So our friends down at Revolution Hall and the crew over at goodship are hosting a little dance party on the Friday after classes start (Jan 16th). What better way to spend a Friday night before you start worrying excessively about diffy-q?

Doors at 8:30PM, the first act goes on at 9. It costs 5 bucks, but for an all night dance party with goodship, it’s quite a bargain.

Edit 1/10: Updated doors/start time.
