We've already told you about Record Store Day, Detroit X Detroit, and the We Came As Romans show, but there are some other awesome events happening around town this weekend! Check out our top picks for this weekend:
Friday, April 12th - Suck It Suicide Comedy Benefit @ Small's: For years now, Ray & Laura (formerly of Ray & Laura's Comedy Showcase) have been throwing an annual benefit show with proceeds going to Suck It Suicide.

Doors to Small's will open at 8 p.m., the show starts at 9:30 p.m. and cover is a suggested donation of $10 (you can give more if you feel so inclined).

With that lineup, we guarantee that this will be a great show! Cover is $12 and doors are at 7 p.m.
