Motel Ice Machine, Too Far From Amsterdam, Bearpark, the Shakes, Dragonflies, and Thrine come to Birmingham …  Salsabor Latin Dance Night at Workplay … Taco Truck on West Valley …

go to this show

If you are looking for an awesome show to pass the time on a Wednesday night for minimal cash, kick off the first day of September with Radio Free Birmingham. In fact, there is no cash involved whatsoever, because the admission is free.
The night will showcase six local bands: Motel Ice Machine, Too Far From Amsterdam, Bearpark, the Shakes, Dragonflies, and Thrine. The show starts at 8:30 p.m., and it’s 18+ so don’t forget your ID.

check out this dance night
What’s better than a night full of sultry Latin dancing at one of the city’s coolest venues? Nothing. The answer is nothing.
So head to Workplay on Saturday night, September 4, for Salsabor Latin Dance Night. It starts at 10 p.m., and it’s $10 to get in. That’s pretty easy to remember - $10 at 10.
Even if you don’t know how to dance, show up an hour early for the event for free dance lessons starting at 9 p.m. DJ Carlos Otalora will be providing the tunage for the night, with tons of hot Latin rhythms that will have you shuffling your feet all night long.

eat at this taco truck…

Well, the official name is Taqueria Guzman, but technicalities aside, this taco truck provides some of the best, most authentic Mexican food in the Magic City.
You can get tacos filled with your choice of meat, from standards like steak or pork to unusual options like cow cheek and tongue, nestled in soft corn tortillas and topped with cilantro, for not even $2 a pop.
Along with tacos, you can also get other treats like burritos and quesadillas, and wash them down with cold bottles of soda. It’s located on West Valley Avenue and is open every day except Monday. Check it out.
