STEEL KITTY On Sale FrI 10:00AM thursday march 23 w.o.w. hall NAUGHTY OR NICE? If your sentiment around the holidays vibes less red felt with fluffy white trim and more fa-la-la-la-fuck-off, the 2nd Annual KrampusNacht Party at Old Nick’s in the Whiteaker might just be your scene. Krampus is the half-goat, half-demon of Austro-Bavarian Alpine Christmas tradition. As opposed to Santa Claus, who rewards well- behaved children, Krampus punishes those who’ve misbehaved. “When they’re bad,” Emily Nyman says of Krampus, “he puts them in a sack, smuggles them home and eats them.” Nyman is an owner-operator at Old Nick’s and this is her second year coordinating the Krampus-themed bash. “He’s got a club that he uses to catch and beat children with,” she continues. “He was the one who made sure you were good. It wasn’t just that you were going to get presents. It’s a traditional tale. I’m very into traditional folklore.” Krampus himself will drop by the celebration for a drink and there will be a Krampus-themed costume contest with a $100 prize and live music. “We encourage everyone to dress as Krampus themselves,” Nyman says. Nyman hopes that one day the event evolves into a Krampus walk in the style of a Santa pub crawl. “Kind of like a Krampus parade,” she says. “It’s kind of fun to have a Nightmare Before Christmas vibe — a spooky, edgy, scary, event.” Old Nick’s 2nd Annual KrampusNacht Party features punk and garage rock from Eugene’s Steel Kitty, Beast of Eden and Indiscretions. Festivities kick off 9 pm Friday, Dec. 9, at Old Nick’s, 211 Washington St.; $5, 21-plus. — William Kennedy MONDAY 12/12 BEER GARDEN Trivia w/Ty Connor—7pm; n/c EMBERS Karaoke w/Jim Jim & Sassy Patty—8pm; n/c FIRST NATIONAL TAPHOUSE Open Mic—8pm; Rock, n/c HULT Band & Choir Winter Concert—7pm; Shasta stu- dents, $10.50-$13 O BAR & GRILL Timothy Patrick—5:30-8pm; Rock, pop, blues, country, n/c OLD NICK'S A God Or An Other, East Sherman, Senza, Exulansis—8pm; Black metal, $5 Irish Jam—6-8pm; Happy Hour SAM BONDS BREWING Open Mic, Manic Monday Improv Jam—6:30pm; n/c SAM BONDS GARAGE Bingo— 9pm; n/c TUESDAY 12/13 5TH ST.
