[BENEFIT] + FRI., OCT. 13

When there are so many big and terrible things going on, it can seem frivolous to go out and have fun. Thus, it’s nice when the going-out part supports a good cause. The aptly titled Shake Your Unlucky Off event at James Street Gastropub will benefit programs for women in the Skaramangas refugee camp in Greece. Singer-songwriter Molly Rae, who also organized the event, will perform along with Wreck Loose drummer Derek Krystek and local pop singer Nick Barilla. There will also be costumes and raffles prizes to take your mind off national catastrophes and Friday the 13^th.

6:30 p.m. 422 Foreland St., North Side. $7-10. All ages. 412-904-3335 or www.jamestreetgastropub.com
