Moon Goons return

Their Honeymoon nights at First Avenue may be over, but the Moon Goons carry on. The DJ duo (Jonathan Ackerman and Josh Clancy) has a new monthly night called "Forever Young" that launches today in downtown Minneapolis. Ackerman said Forever Young will be a roving party, moving to a different space each month. Tonight's debut will take place in the old To Soho store front, next to Bar-Fly and the Skyway Lounge. The party will feature the usual Moon Goons festivities -- intense decorations, cutting-edge dance music and a bar. The duo has invited New York DJ Cousin Cole to perform, as well as the Get Cryphy DJs and Gary Slam. Arrive early because they will let only 150 to 200 people into the intimate space.

9 p.m. today. 715 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $5 with RSVP, $7 without. Ages18 and older. www.myspace.com/themoongoons.

Seinfeld sold out?

If you've waited this long to get tickets to Jerry Seinfeld's shows at the Orpheum Theatre this weekend, you might be too late. Or maybe not. The Orpheum says it's always smart to check with its box office on the day of the show for last-minute ticket releases. Seinfeld will perform one show tonight and two on Saturday.

7 p.m. today; 7 and 9:30 p.m. Sat. 910 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $49-$79. Ticketmaster: 1-800-982-2787. www.hennepintheatretrust.org.

Cheerleaders in the club

The word from the 'burbs is that Oak City is making some noise on the Bloomington nightlife scene. The restaurant now features DJs on weekends. Tonight, Oak City will have a fashion show featuring the Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders (modeling clothes from Twin Cities boutiques). The show's producer, JD Style Group, says customers who bring in nonperishable food items (donated to Second Harvest Heartland) will receive an autographed photo of the cheerleader squad. The Timberwolves dance team will have their own fashion show on Dec. 11.

10 p.m. today. 5001 American Blvd., Bloomington. Free.

952-746-8887. www.oakcitymn.com.
