Desperate for something to do on the 23rd? Zanzabar is staging a "Smithsmas" event, a celebration of The Smiths. Details from Zanzabar are these: "a mixtape exchange (bring your own mixtape or CD and leave with another!), live covers by local bands, and a DJ set of Smiths songs and maybe a few related artists. Most important of all, proceeds go directly to Kentucky Harvest to help those in need. That $3 or 3 canned good entry goes a long way to help others."
