Why blow $200+ on some candlelit dinner this V-Day when $10 gets you into the first annual Experimental <3 Festival, happening all this week at Roulette? There's not much of an explanation as to the inspiration behind the festival, but with featured performers including Sam Mickens, MV Carbon and Zeena Parkins, this is sure to excite that special music head in your life. Just don't expect strolling violins.
