Most of the street events were canceled, due to the shock and grief over the 6 innocent dead victims and 13 others wounded (including CD 8 Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords) shot by suspect Jared Lee Loughner. And many families & friends were at the various hospitals that were treating the wounded, especially University Medical Center.

So, coming up Feb. 12, TNT (AC/DC Tribute) will now be re-scheduled at the Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St., 7 to 9 p.m.

Listed below is the event schedule from 2nd Saturdays Downtown website, with a message of sympathy:
