Oct. 28 Creepy Cheapy IX @ The Crofoot It’s creepy, and it’s cheap. There will be free candy, a candy-eating contest, a costume contest, and a killer lineup. Performances include Ironsnake (as Judas Priest), Courtney and the Hurleys (as Dolly Parton), Shapes and Colors (as My Chemical Romance), Stikyfut (as Radiohead), and many more. If that isn’t your thing, there will also be all-night dancing on the patio (Erno the Inferno and Ryan Spencer as DJs), as well as vintage tiki lounge music in the cafe from Sister John Misty. 1 S. Saginaw St., Pontiac; 248-858-9333; thecrofoot.com

Bumbo’s 3001 Holbrook Ave, Hamtramck (313)-285-8239 This artsy-weirdo Hamtramck neighborhood bar is the perfect place to escape if you feel personally violated by everything that comes from Donald Trump’s mouth. Which is a lot as we all know. They even posted on their FB page that there is no wifi, so no discussing politics. Hell yeah! Photo via IG user @bumbosbar

Horoscopes (Oct. 19-25)

by Cal Garrison.

By Metro Times editorial staff

LIBRA: September 21 – October 20 A sense of uncertainty, and the idea that you need to take your future into account are lighting up your thought process. Recent mind blows have made it necessary to come up with a new plan. You wish you knew what you wanted, and it would be even better if you had what it takes to make it work. It's good that you're turning things around. This would be the time to consider relocating. Foreign territory may work for some of you. With nothing sure or written in stone you would do well to remove yourself from what's known and familiar, long enough to see yourself.

She’s a Detroiter. She’s Mrs. Frizzle. She’s Deborah Fiderer. She’s Frankie Bergstein. But tonight, she’s herself. Lily Tomlin will bring out her most beloved stand-up characters like Madame Lupe, Edith Ann, and Trudy, the bag lady with all of the alien stories. For fans of her award-winning work of any age, this night is sure to be a riot. Tomlin, a feminist and gay rights icon, is definitely in the running for Queen of Comedy. She’s been in this business since 1965, and everything she does is still just as original and hilarious as when she got started. Don’t miss out on your chance. If you do, you’re just as bad as Lucille the Rubber Freak. Thursday, 10/13; An Evening of Classic Lily Tomlin @ Royal Oak Music Theatre; The show starts at 6:30 p.m.; 318 W. Fourth St., Royal Oak; royaloakmusictheatre.com; tickets start at $102.

Horoscopes (Oct. 12-18)

By Cal Garrison.

By Metro Times editorial staff

LIBRA: Sept. 21 – Oct. 20 Before you jump down anyone's throat, make sure you have your facts straight. The tendency to assume way too much is making it hard for you to get what you want out of this. Whoever's driving you nuts might as well be 4 years old. The next time you get into a tiff with them it will help you to remember that it took them forever to get this messed up. Stop needing to be right about everything. If you can detach enough to stop judging them and listen to their story with an open heart you will be able to communicate well enough to fix what isn't working here.

Kuhnhenn Oktoberfest With the tagline, “Beers with Distinct Personalities,” you can tell Kuhnhenn Brewing Co. probes some of the boundaries of craft beer, coming up with sour beers that will twist your palate and leave you smiling. With beers like that, you can bet Kuhnhenn’s Oktoberfest is sure to be one to remember. Their signature Warren Taproom features 26 drafts of handcrafted beer, plus house-made mead, wine, and cider, and their tented outdoor biergarten will be full of live music, games, and good cheer. Then the next week the festivities take over the establishment’s Clinton Township location. Kuhnhenn Oktoberfest takes place Oct. 14-15 in Warren, and Oct. 21-22 in Clinton Township; see kbrewery.com for more details.
