Here’s what’s happening in Bend this upcoming weekend.
Friday 4.11
Comedy night at Hosmer: Swing by Hosmer bar for an evening of comedy, music, and artfully crafted mocktails (or cocktails). 7 PM Hosmer Bar
Celebrate the 2000s: The 2000’s were only 10 years ago (don’t try to correct my math), so it’s time to throw it back to the days of Y2K fashion, tunes from Britney Spears, and everything else that made it a great decade. Midtown Ballroom is hosting It’s A 2000’s Party, so stay up late and throw down like you’re in college again. 9 PM Midtown Ballroom
