"Dave's not here, man ..." and if you know that line, you probably can't wait to see Cheech and Chong's reunion tour when it comes here. The senior stoners are still laugh-out-loud funny and delivering classic comedy bits.

Sure it's fake, but you can't find a better over-the-top show than when pro wrestling comes to town. The WWE and ECW Smackdown is a chance to get close to stars like Triple H, left, and The Undertaker. Rent Mickey Rourke's "The Wrestler" to get in the mood.

Long before Tiffany became a reality star on "Celebrity Fit Club," (where she dropped 28 pounds), she was an '80s pop queen with No. 1 hits with "I Think We're Alone Now," "Could've Been" and "I Saw Him Standing There." She's got some new music, but this is '80s Night.

Doors open 8 p.m. / Pipeline Café / $20, $50 VIP / www.groovetickets.com
