Saturday, June 24th & Sunday, June 25th - Astronomicon 6.5 @ Burton Manor: Earlier this year, Astronomicon 6 took over Burton Manor in Livonia. Unfortunately, Mother Nature brought some snow to town along with this fun convention, so some of the headlining guests were unable to attend. Lucky for you, this means that the Astronomicon team is holding a second event this year and big names like Kevin Smith & Jason Mewes are making their way to town for it! Also on the guest list are Ryan Hurst, Jeff Anderson, Brian O'Halloran, Jeremy London, Peter Dante, and many more. Check out the full list of celebrity guests here. In addition to the stars, there will also be awesome vendors, cosplay, concerts, and more. Head to Astronomicon.com for the full rundown of events and to get your tickets. 

Sunday, June 25th - Alicja-Pop w/ Pink Spit @ Outer Limits Lounge: This Sunday night you have a chance to see one of those bands that we keep talking about, Pink Spit.
