SUMMARY:DOGTOBERFEST
DESCRIPTION:Dog Costume Contest•Food & Beer •Music\nPints & Pups\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnly one day a year we break our own rules. Any rule breakers out there\, this is your moment! Typically\, K-9s aren’t allowed on Indian Creek Plaza\, and I’m sure you’ve seen all our signs saying so. But\, for this event only\, we put all that signage in storage for the afternoon and welcome all your 4-legged besties to the party. Not only are they invited\, but they ARE the party! We cater to all things dog for our annual Dogtoberfest. \nWe’re going full Bavarian on this one and putting our own twist on the centuries-old German Oktoberfest. What better way to celebrate doggo than to have a cold beer in one hand and a leash in the other. This is a great opportunity for those water lovin’ pups to enjoy our splash pad for the afternoon. \nSome event highlights include “Running of the Wieners\,” so pack up those Dachshunds and bring them on down to the plaza. They’re just so fun to watch! Dress up your pup in their finest threads ‘cause there’s a costume contest. Go all out! Think you have the forearm strength of a 19th-century Bavarian farmer? Prove it! We’re having a Stein Holding Contest\, so get those arms prepped and ready for the occasion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRULES FOR ATTENDING WITH A DOG\nIf you are attending the Dogtober Fest with a dog\, you agree to abide by these terms:\n\n\nAll dogs must be on a leash at all times. Owners are responsible for the actions of their pets. Pets must be under control at all times. \n\n\nNo aggressive animals— if participants display negative behavior\, they will be asked to leave the event. \n\n\nDog should be sociable with other animals\, adults\, and children and should not be aggressive about food\, toys\, or owner. \n\n\nDogs must be comfortable in a loud and festive environment. Please be aware of the stress level of your pet at all times. \n\n\nCourtesy is appreciated! Be prepared to clean up after your pet. Owners are expected to bring their own dog waste bags to clean up waste. \n\n\nDogs must be at least 4 months old\, as younger animals have weak or no immune systems. \n\n\nDogs must be kept on a leash at all times. \n\n\nDogs must be up to date on vaccinations and be in good health. \n\n\nNo dogs in heat.

SUMMARY:Nation of Language\, Greet Death
DESCRIPTION:Nation of Language\, Greet Death\nKnitting Factory – Boise\n416 S. 9th St. – Boise\, ID 83702\nSatOctober 48:00 pm(Doors: 7:00 pm)\nAll Ages\n$27.71Buy Tickets\n\n\nPlease Note: Delayed Delivery is in place for this event. Tickets will be sent 72hrs prior to the show.\n\n+ Google Calendar\n\n\n\n\nArtists\n\n\nNation of Language\n\n \n\n\n\nSocial Links\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGreet Death\n\n \n\nTrue to the band’s name\, death creeps into nearly all of Greet Death’s songs. And yet\, through this ever-present certainty\, the band finds the absolute core of what it means to be alive. \nSince 2011\, elementary school friends Logan Gaval and Harper Boyhtari have been writing songs full of big ideas and everyday details. Their music\, loud and full of melodic sensibility\, draws from shoegaze\, doomgaze\, and a little-bit-of-everything-gaze\, creating an emotionally maximalist palette. Writing separately but playing together (think of them as small-town Michigan’s Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus)\, they’ve been drawing in a devoted crowd ever since their unexpectedly successful debut Dixieland in 2017\, followed by their next-level opus New Hell in 2019. You’d be hard-pressed to find albums with such heart: ones flooded both with full-bloom feelings and the dumb stories we tell ourselves in order to get through the day. \nReturning six years later with Die In Love\, their third and best album\, Greet Death faces the great human problem—that we must go on living despite knowing we’re going to die\, and loving despite knowing we’re going to lose it all—with great sensitivity\, humor\, and flourish. With this album\, Greet Death has found a way to anthemize our suffering\, to turn it into one great\, big\, beautiful singalong: we’re all gonna die\, woo! \n“Everybody struggles in a roundabout way\,” goes the album’s opening lyric. No longer just honing in on their own pain\, the band is now using suffering as a jumping-off point\, a way to connect\, and ultimately love one another. “Emptiness is everywhere\, so hold each other close\,” Harper sings later on\, another of the album’s key lyrics. After years of performing their songs live\, the band has seen firsthand how keenly their audience connects to their music. “So I wanted to try to write something less fatalistic\, because I feel some kind of responsibility to help\,” says Logan. \nPrior to recording\, Logan had been listening to a lot of The Beatles and Paul McCartney’s solo work\, “because I was trying to figure out how to write a song that wasn’t just depressing\,” he says. He and Harper had been talking for a while about the direction of Die In Love; why not a bunch of love songs?” They tried to do just that\, but of course\, death came creeping in as usual. Die In Love speaks to the most tragic and beautiful scenario possible: dying beside the person you’ve spent your whole life loving. Tragic\, because we have to die. Beautiful\, because we might be able to do it together. \nThey recorded the album in Harper’s parents’ basement in Davisburg\, Michigan\, the place where she and Logan spent much of their preteen and adolescent years. They cut their teeth in that basement\, learning how to be a band around the time School of Rock came out and inspired in aughts kids a new possible life path. Logan and Harper covered Metallica and Blink-182 and wrote songs about batteries and frozen yogurt. Returning to that basement well over a decade later to record their third album felt like the back-to-basics moment they needed\, something that would take the pressure off after years away from the studio. \nEver since they were kids\, music has been the primary form of communication for Logan and Harper. Between them\, they’re able to mine the absolute essence of everything both through big picture ideas and small vignettes of life. In Logan’s songs we hear the former\, and in Harper’s the latter. While Logan takes big\, beautiful hits at existence\, Harper focuses on small shards. On her songs — ‘Country Girl’\, ‘Emptiness Is Everywhere’ and ‘Love Me When You Leave’ — she takes us through DVD viewings of Halloween\, buckets at KFC and family gatherings soundtracked by ‘Hotel California\,’ “that bullshit Eagles song”. Then\, she’ll deliver a Loganism in quick succession\, one absolutely devastating lyric that blitzes it all to pieces: “family is everywhere ‘til it’s not there.” \nDie In Love asks how we can possibly cope with all the inevitable loss we’ll experience in this life. How on Earth can anyone survive it? The point is that none of us do. So\, enjoy the bullshit Eagles songs while they last; the cheap beer\, the disappointing New Year’s Eve celebrations\, the family members and the lovers who choose to stay a little while. \n“Pain and loss. Everyone feels it\, it’s a very human thing\,” says Logan. “At the end of the day\, we’re lucky to lose people we care about\,” says Logan.
