9 things you absolutely must do in Seattle this January

Throw on your dad's rock jeans and get ready to party with the Country Lips, Mikey and Matty, Silver Torches, and more. They're all covering the Boss' finest tunes at Neumos. In true Americana style, tickets are just $5.

Hard Row to Hoe's officially launching their second tasting parlor, a "brothel-chic" spot featuring sexy furniture like a tally-ho chair (prominently featured in a movie with Seattle's 11th best fictional character) and specialty drinks like their iced cider.

Bundle up and skip town to catch performances by a bevy of local bands like Hobosexual, Sol, and Red Fang. It costs $30 a day to attend the fest or $55 for both, and you can even step up your game with discounted tickets for Stevens Pass for $55.

What's better than sexy women? Smart, sexy women like the ones running this new alternative magazine that's celebrating its launch with live covers of bands ranging from Aerosmith to the Cramps.

If you haven’t been in the supposedly haunted halls of the Harvard Exit Theatre, here’s your last chance EVER. Without a doubt one of the raddest spots to catch a flick in town, this historic screening spot will be sorely missed.

Sample microbrews from breweries all over Washington state like Yakima Craft Brewing Co. and more. Tickets are $30 and get you a tasting glass plus five tastes.

Leavenworth’s annual Bavarian Icefest embraces the cold with open arms with events like live ice carving, dog sled rides, snow sculpture competitions, and more. Tickets to the two day event vary in price, but what other prompting do you need to get out there than the infamous chili crawl, which features made-from-scratch chili from a trail of local restaurants.

With a shton of beer, live music, chainsaw carving, and a slew of food vendors like Dented Buoy Pizza, Key City Fish Company, and more, it might be time to put that New Year's diet of yours on hold for a weekend.

Catch this live tribute band alongside This Is Not My Beautiful Band, Seattle’s resident Talking Heads cover act, at Nectar for $13 in advance and $17 at the door.
