Events It's Happening Tonight!

MORE DUDES TALKING—Well, thank god tonight is the last of the insufferable debates between the two buzzword-spouting presidential candidates. The only way to get through this foreign policy throwdown is going to be a stiff order of whiskey and a table full of friends making snarky comments, so grab a seat at the Mission Theater. SM
Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, 6 pm, FREE, all ages
ACRONYM—Rapper A$AP Rocky says his acronym stands for many things: "Always Strive and Prosper," "Assassinating Snitches and Police," and even "Acronym Symbolizing Any Purpose." But take a listen to his sexy, stoned, and self-assured style (a dollop of Houston swag here, a smidge of Memphis haze there), and you'll say it stands for "A$AP Seems Awfully Proficient." WSH
w/Schoolboy Q, Danny Brown, A$AP Mob; Roseland, 8 NW 6th, 8 pm, $25, all ages
