Go out with bangs. You wouldn't want to arrive at the Pearly Gates with split ends. Stylists from Joe's Barbershop in Logan Square are trimming at the House of Blues. A couple of other last-hurrah options—get inked by a Twisted Tattoo artist and fess up to a costumed priest about doing "it". Presumably you know your fate; learn your destiny from a tarot card reader. Just before midnight, headlining rockers Steel Panther pause their set for the formidable countdown. Have a swig of Shock Top's limited-engagement launch, End of the World Midnight Wheat ale, then brace yourself. Earth's Last Stand. House of Blues, 329 N Dearborn St (earthslaststand.com). 8pm; $35–$45.
For little to nothing, treat yourself to the classic WWII holiday film. The movie is shown inside the museum's theater. Space is limited. Seating is first come, first served. Saturday matinee: White Christmas Pritzker Military Library, 104 S Michigan Ave (312-374-9333, pritzkermilitarylibrary.org). 1pm; $5, members free.
Known as the people's Macy's, the Small Manufacturing Alliance pop-up supports artisans who produce locally made goods.
