PICK OF THE WEEK—FRIDAY, APRIL 28: Having come up with the group Hot Boys, alongside superstar Lil Wayne, New Orleans chart-topping rapper Juvenile is a Southern hip-hop veteran. Terius Gray, aka Juvenile, was one of the initial artists involved in New Orleans’ “bounce” craze of the early ’90s. The rapper brings his uptempo style of hip-hop that is combined with gangster rap and party music Friday at 10 p.m. at the Waiting Room Lounge (6212 Maple St.). Local celebs Houston Alexander and Staso from the Neighborhood Watch, along with DJ Shor-T, host the show. Openers include Enjoli Mitchell, Jazz Simone, OSO, HB, and Big Mista. Tickets are $30 advance and $35 day of show. Check out the web here for more info.                                                       

FRIDAY, APRIL 28: “REVEL” is a night in Omaha dedicated to ladies who love ladies.

And starting at 8 p.m. this Friday night at the Old Market Tavern (514 S. 10th St.), the theme is ’90s House Party, so get digging into the back of your (or your older sister’s, or mother’s) closet and grab those overalls because DJ Ness will be pumping up the jams. Props to the freshest outfit. For more info, head here.
