Dear cancer, f--k you

People can’t agree on much these days. But if cancer was a person, everyone reading this would probably punch it in the nose and take its lunch money. Because—well—fuck cancer. That’s the premise behind Danny Secretion’s Lame-Ass Birthday Bash, the annual punk fest where local bands play to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Now in its 15th year, the five-night birthday party for The Moans’ guitarist has grown to include local hip-hop acts like Sparks Across Darkness and Hobo Johnson in addition to FC staples like the O’Mulligans. Last year’s fundraiser was the most lucrative yet, and Danny’s birthday wish is to raise $3,500 this year. It kicked off Wednesday in Folsom, but there are still opportunities to check out cool bands and support a cause we can all get behind. Various venues, www.facebook.com/themoans.
