Hip in Detroit's Picks for the Weekend: July 26-28

Friday, July 26th - Hot Sweaty and Weird at The Senate Theatre: The historic Senate Theatre has a lot of charm, but one thing they don't have is air conditioning. They're not letting that stop them though! This summer they have been hosting the "Hot, Sweaty and Weird Series", letting patrons know ahead of time that it's gonna be hot! The "weird" part mostly refers to the movie selections, with this week's feature being The Brain That Wouldn't Die. The movie starts at 10 p.m., doors open at 9, and the organ overture begins at 9:30. Tickets are only $5 and can be purchased here.

Friday, July 26th - Sunday, July 28th: Summer Stroh-Down @ Outer Limits Lounge: Outer Limits Lounge is throwing a Rock 'N' Roll party all weekend long! The party kicks off on Friday night with acts like Werewolf Jones and Timmy's Organism. Some other highlights include Drinkard Sisters, Tin Foil, Eroders, Wiccans, and The Cheetahs. There are over two dozen bands playing throughout the weekend and DJs every night. Plus, each day kicks off with food, happy hour specials and a DJ! Cover is $40 for all 3 days or $15 for Friday, $20 for Saturday, and $20 for Sunday. The party kicks off at 4 p.m. on Friday and noon on Saturday and Sunday!

Sunday, July 28th - Early Show with TART @ PJ's Lager House: You already know that PJ's Lager House serves up an awesome brunch!
