Three Cliff-Lee’s-strikezone-is-bigger-than-most reasons to wipe off your brow and hit up the Hideout tonight:

1. Veggie bingo, em effers!!!! It’s been a while since we highlighted this, another in a long line of rad, community first events that the Hideout hosts. Let’s do it now. You play bingo. You maybe eat hot dogs, both meat and veggie style. Maybe you win prizes, some provided by the local organic delivery service Fresh Picks. And the proceeds, you ask? This week they go to the Oscar Mayer Magnet School Garden Project. Jesus, the Hideout, you’re making us all look bad. Unless…we go and show our support. Problem solved, conscious cleared.

2. Want some music to go with your bingo and new found feelings of self-worth? Welp, the Immediate Sound Series carries on this week with two sets from the Engines. The Engines are Jeb Bishop, Dave Rempis, Nate McBride and Tim Daisy. All righteous dudes on their own. Together? Well go see for yourself. It’s jazz! You’ll love it.

3. There’s a DJ set as well. This week David Daniell will be, you know, spinning between the Engine sets. There’s not much to say about that and really I think I’ve already given ample reasons to get off your duff and go have some fun. In the words of the immortal Bill Cosby, “If you’re not careful you may learn something before it’s done.”
