Sat, Dec 5
Save Ferris' Annual Happy Skalidays Tour
December in Southern California refuses to feel like December, and after enough years you stop fighting it and start looking for the traditions that actually match the weather — which is how a horn section playing holiday songs in double time became a real seasonal ritual for a specific Orange County generation. Monique Powell has been running this one every winter for years now and it functions the way a hometown show does: people who have not seen each other since last December turn up in the same three rows. Ska took a beating in the culture and the people who stayed loyal through that are not casual about it. Expect the pit to open during the second song and to include several adults in reindeer antlers. Music at 9:00 PM in Ventura on East Thompson Boulevard. It comes back around every year, which is most of the reason it means anything.
