One of the city’s best live music venues is bidding us all farewell, and in true Irish wake fashion—they’re celebrating rather than mourning. Smack in the middle of a solid weekend of entertainment at the Paragon is this show. Over the past two years, Peter Farmer has painted over120 of the friendly faces that’ve made their way through the joint and this is your chance take a little piece of the Paragon home with you. The night will kick off with an art auction and, with the list of musical guests, no doubt it’s going to be a ridiculously energized, sweaty good time. Thanks Paragon, it’s been fun drinking your beer and dancing on your floors.
Sat May 28, The Paragon Theatre, 2037 Gottingen St, 9pm, $10 before midnight
