When I think New Year's Eve the words "inspire" and "truth" don't often come to mind—although I can't say the same for the words "booze" and "regret"—but that's the name of Refuge's NYE celebration. Inspire Truth might be the title, but headliner Talib Kweli is the reason people will be there. There haven't been many big-name NYE acts announced as of yet (sorry, Floater), and seeing a pretty intimate show from Kweli seems like a great way to welcome in 2011. Despite this, the world's worst hiphop flyer. It looks like an ad for tarot readings and a sale on discounted dream catchers.
Tickets are $27 (before 12/5), $33 (after 12/5), $45 (door) and available from their site, Frock (1439 NE Alberta), and Papa G's (2314 SE Division). Yes, the tofu place.
