- My mom's tamales ... not offered by Southside, but equally delish. Hug your mom.
If you didn't make tamales this year, forgot to order some or want to support a great group of people in our city, I suggest you order them now from the Southside Presbyterian Church's Southside Worker Center.
Email your order [email protected] or call 955-8165. Pick up your orders on Saturday, Dec. 28 at 4 p.m.

In last-minute super-surprising news, Aziz Ansari is coming to Casino Del Sol's Event Center on December 27. Yes, this December 27. In an era where it seems like most big shows are announced six months or more ahead of time, you've got a little more than two weeks (well, depending on when you read this) to get your act together if you want to see one of America's most prominent comics (and R. Kelly apologist) live in Tucson.
Tickets range from $45 to $85 and are on sale now.
Here's a clip from his most recent special, Buried Alive:

Don't let a little rain stop you from going out and partying.
Tonight three Arizona bands are going to take the stage at Plush, 340 East 6th St.
The Electric Blankets will keep you warm and dancing along with Phoenix indie bands
Celebration Guns and
Saddles. Tickets are only $5 and the show starts at 9 p.m. You have to admit that's one of the best promotional posters ever. Three headed dogs get me everytime.
