Tonight, thousands of New Yorkers will be running in Central Park for Nike's Run Hit Wonder race, 5 miles around the mini loop. The Donnas are the opening act at the starting line (6PM), Fountains of Wayne, DJ Z-Trip, Nina Sky and Chingy are performing along the course, and there's a post-race concert by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (8PM). Now, the concert is only open to registrants, but we've heard that in the past, the course is actually pretty friendly to spectators. You'll probably be able to hear the race from outside the park as well. And the Donnas are playing a free concert tomorrow night at Hudson River Park.

As is usually the case, the local concert schedule around Thanksgiving is a tad thin. Look at it this way: If you go out, you'll have a little extra elbow room. Or, look at it this way: If you go out, you may be seeing bands that are playing to half-empty rooms, and nobody likes to play to half-empty rooms.

CMJ is here. For New Yorkers, you've probably already seen many of these bands. Everybody plays here. But the number of shows and the number of people crammed into the clubs for these shows is greater than normal. Be careful out there.
