And so it’s over. Eight years of the wild scene at the Black Cat come to an end this weekend at a closing party on Saturday. No more “gutter nights.” No more stiff drinks (without cutesy names, thanks). No more pool-table-on-wheels being pushed out of the way to make room for whatever band from whatever state happens to be setting up. No more smokers making plans for fornication in the alley. No more begging for a place to stay afterward. No more impromptu shows by the 2 Live Crew. No more drunken orders from Humble Pie. No more stapling bras and dollar bills to the ceiling. No more lesbians bumping and grinding with truckers bumping and grinding with stockbrokers bumping and grinding with waitresses. Well, after this weekend, at least. Get there early. It’ll be packed. Saturday, Aug. 28, at the Black Cat. 10056 Main St., Penngrove. All day. 707.793.9480.

What do we do when the economy is bad? Historically, we dress up, put on a brave face and pretend that everything’s glamorous (see: art deco, The Great Gatsby, swing dancing). These days, we’re more likely to dress down and rehash the roles of our Depression-addled ancestors while accepting the fact that everything is ruined. But we have fun doing it! Enter the Rivertown Revival, a let’s-pretend-we’re-broke event celebrating Petaluma’s heritage with art-boat races, floating river sculptures, food, music and more. It might seem like the Handcar Regatta on water, but event organizers promise it’ll be “less steampunk, more Tom Sawyer.” Music, of course, is in great supply, with Arann Harris and the Greenstring Farm Band, El Radio Fantastique, Baby Seal Club, Old Jawbone, Hillside Fire, Eli Jebidiah, the Crux and more on Saturday, July 24, at Steamer Landing Park, Petaluma. 11:30am–6pm. Free. 707.763.775.
