4/20/10: Today’s Tips: Tuesday

Yes, it’s 4/20. Remember that most of these events are BYOB. That’s “bring your own bong.”

MUSIC: Joe Bonamassa @ The Egg, Albany. He’s thirtysomething now, but the blues-rock guitar prodigy has been dazzling fans since the days when his ax was bigger than he was. He was opening concerts for B.B. King when he was 11 years old. Maybe you remember his shows at Pauly’s Hotel and Bogie’s back in the day. But if haven’t already got your tix for this one, well… 8pm. UPDATE: This show is sold out.
