Lounge Act Weekend: Santa Pub Crawl and getting Low

Don't mock it 'til you try it: The Santa Pub Crawl is one of the most fun nights of the year in downtown Salt Lake City. Accept no substitutes.---
Sure, there's a Santa fun bus Saturday, and Park City does its own Santa Pub Crawl, but the long-running downtown Santa Pub Crawl is the real deal, with more than a decade of drunken buffoonery, ornery Kris Kringles, sassy Mrs. Clauses and befuddled bartenders and cocktail waitresses in its past.

Over at The Urban Lounge, Spell Talk plays with Cornered by Zombies and God's Revolver.
And on Sunday, consider the finale of the Jazz Vespers series at the First Unitarian Church, featuring the Joe Muscolino Band.
