Summer solstice, rain on the way—pick your vibe

Happy solstice—you've got 17 hours of daylight to work with today, which is pretty wild. But here's the thing: we're sitting under a rainfall warning, so those outdoor plans need a Plan B. It's 11°C and the UV's low, so even when the rain clears, you're not getting burned out there. Sunset's at 10:07 p.m., so whatever you do tonight, you've got most of the evening to play with.

If you're thinking baseball, the Cactus Rats are home at Myshak Metro Ballpark at 1:35 p.m. against the Fort McMurray Giants—could be a muddy mess, but that's half the charm. Check the radar before you head out.

A few things landing on the local radar this week: the Oilers are weighing a Dickinson deal as free agency kicks into gear, which means trade talk's about to get spicy. Also worth knowing—the AGLC raised minimum drink prices for the first time since 2008, so your next pint or cocktail's going to cost a bit more. And there was an unprovoked knife attack in Mill Woods earlier this week, so stay sharp out there.

On the food front, Live Bowl'd just opened a permanent spot on Whyte Ave if you're craving their bowls, and Marugame Udon's heading to the Mall, which is solid news if you're into udon. Okie Dokie Smokies has also been making waves with their hot dogs—worth checking out if you haven't yet.

For tonight, lean into the indoors. Yardbird Suite's got live jazz twice—A Portrait Of Sheila at 1:00 p.m. if you want an early listen, and Djabe at 7:00 p.m. if you're catching the evening. If you're feeling something with more edge, the Starlite Room's got a Modern Prometheus show at 6:00 p.m. with Santorum, Killing Spree, Repugnant Scum, and Splayed. And if you want something a little different, ETRAN DE L'AÏR with Timelapses is at Double Dragon at 8:00 p.m.

The Elks' home opener against the unbeaten Alouettes is also happening tonight in the rain—that's CFL weather at its finest. Could be a muddy, wild game.

One last heads-up: the city's been getting dozens of 311 calls about faded traffic lines, so watch your lane markers out there. Some of them are basically invisible.

Stay dry, catch some live music, and make the most of the longest day.
