Editor's note: Because of the holiday week, some weekly Wednesday events and most weekly Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) events will be cancelled. If you're not sure about an event, we suggest you phone the venue to make sure the weekly event is still happening. Similarly, since OU's fall quarter is drawing to a close, some regular entertainment events geared toward students probably will go on hiatus till January. We hope that venues will contact us about such changes, though often they don't. Again, call ahead if you're in doubt.
