• Christmas isn't so much secularized as creepified at "A John Waters Christmas," an extravangaza hosted by the director himself. The Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players and Kimya Dawson join the oddities tonight at Bowery Ballroom. [WUNY]
• The good folks at Air Guitar USA, which apparently exists, bring you a competition tonight at M1-5 at Tribeca. Unfortunately, it's not a national qualifier, but New York's own Air Guitar Champion, Bj rn T roque, will be among the judges. Extra points for headbanging and pained facial expressions. [Upcoming]
• In response to the whole strike thing, a number of bars around the city are extending happy hours. If you have to walk, walk drunk. [flavorpill]
