As 2009 gets underway, there are some bright lights on the horizon: New destinations for microbrews, an international lounge and, finally, the chance to play mini-golf indoors with a beer in hand.

For years, it's been all the rage to have musicians from synth/electro/dance-punk bands to DJ at concert afterparties: Ladytron, CSS, the Brazilian Girls, the DFA crew, even VHS or Beta or Stellastarr* have graced the decks at venues from the Rock and Roll Hotel to random art galleries. Sometimes it's unbelievably fun, and sometimes it sounds more like your drunk uncle trying to DJ your cousin's wedding with borrowed indie records.
Every Thursday at 1 p.m. ET, Going Out Guide experts share their best bets for local flavor, great dates and family fun.

What is a podcast? How do I listen?
A podcast is an audio file that can be downloaded to your computer. The word "podcast" is derived from Apple Inc's portable music player, the iPod. Podcasts are usually downloaded through a program like iTunes onto an iPod using RSS feeds, but they can also be directly downloaded on to a computer or listened to in streaming format. It's free to download or listen to our podcasts.
