Regardless of where you end up this Halloween weekend, do us a favor: show up in costume. Halloween may not be until Monday, but that's a school night, so we won't blame you for getting 'yer spookified ya yas out this weekend.

Each Friday we pick five must-see shows, join us for this week's installment.

Friday, October 28:

Loren Battle bring their growling, drumstick spinning juju to the Clubhouse Music Venue.

("He did drive out from Arizona...that counts for something.")

Saturday, October 29:
