Event-O-Dex XXVI
If you don't want to venture to JP for the Mary Reillys show at the Milky Way on Thursday, here's a Somerville-side option that's also alluring:

Thursday, Dec. 19: A Very Indie Pop Christmas with Seana Carmody, Shumai, and the Tardy at the Abbey Lounge in Somerville.

I'll be there, burning brightly on both ends before I leave for a quiet Christmas week in Wisconsin.
