SEPTEMBER 16 SATURDAY

B-boys and B-girls of Atlanta: Top-rock, pop-lock and six-step over to the Relapse Theatre tonight for THAT’S THE JOINT to see crews battle in the three-on-three break-dancing competition. You can freeze or head spin, but if your plans include “the robot” then don’t even bother. This event also celebrates the seventh anniversary of the Fraggle Rock Crew, who have danced alongside some of the world’s best. $10. 6 p.m.-midnight. 380 14th St. 404-541-9911. www.relapsecomedy.com. (NG)

SEPTEMBER 16 SATURDAY

Just like Christmas in July celebrates the six-month mark between past and future credit card debt, St. Patty’s Day in September reminds us that green beer, Riverdancing and cabbage really are seasonless pastimes. Atlanta gets its clog on today with the FALL IRISH FESTIVAL, a day-long event featuring Irish music, dancing, art, literature and a Castle Brands liquor tasting. Free-$15. 2-7 p.m. Doubletree Hotel Atlanta/Roswell, 1075 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell. www.atlantairishmusic.com. (DM)

SEPTEMBER 19 TUESDAY

MTV’s “Video Music Awards” was a hot mess: Performers missed cues, scripted exchanges weren’t funny and it relegated THE RACONTEURS (above) to house-band status. C’mon, the White Stripes’ Jack White ain’t no Paul Schaeffer! But if the snippets of the band’s garage-rock debut, Broken Boy Soldiers, caught your attention, tonight’s 100 percent commercial-free Tabernacle performance should keep it. $30. 8 p.m. 152 Luckie St. 404-659-9022. www.livenation.com.
