Most dancing requires a predictable beat, which is why party DJs rarely play symphonies or audiobooks of Stephen King novels. Trade cliffhangers for club sounds with this GrouponLive deal to see the Sorry For Party Rocking tour, featuring LMFAO with Far East Movement, The Quest Crew, Sidney Samson, and more, at KeyArena. For $30, you get one ticket for seating in sections 103, 104, 106, 108, or 110 on Saturday, June 2, at 7 p.m. (up to a $61.11 value, including all fees). Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
Despite their determinedly of-the-moment sound, RedFoo and SkyBlu are carrying on a long pop lineage: the former is Motown founder Berry Gordy's son, the latter his grandson. As red-hot electropop duo LMFAO, the uncle-nephew pairing electrifies dance floors with manic odes to party life. The 2012 Sorry for Party Rocking tour explodes with fan favorites such as "Party Rock Anthem" and newer hits such as "Sexy and I Know It," whose bouncy swagger dominated the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 28 weeks. Meanwhile, the band parades in neon animal prints amid backup dancers, bobbing beneath giant robot heads, tossing inflatables into the crowd, and creating a spectacle Metro Weekly calls "enormously entertaining."
The LA-based foursome Far East Movement straddles the worlds of underground DJ culture and crowd-pleasing electronic dance music with such hits as "Like a G6" and "Jello." After winning the third season of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, The Quest Crew diversifies the bill's skill set with acrobatic hip-hop moves, gravity-defying leaps, and dangerously intense head bobs. Amid a trio of other energetic opening acts, Dutch DJ Sidney Samson draws attention to his electro-house beats and intense remixes of everyone from Kylie Minogue to Lil Jon.

The Groupon Guide to: Writing a Sitcom
The major television networks have just announced their upcoming season of wedding shows, primetime commercials, and sitcoms, which are scripted shows for people who hate to be alone and want to feel like they have friends inside the TV. Here’s a step-by-step guide to writing your first sitcom:
Choose a main character:
• A single gal trying to make it in New York City (difficult place for gals because the subway is always crowded and men are rude)
• A guy who wants to be successful but is stifled by his need to be lazy and have fun
• A parent who should not be a parent
Choose a location:
• A large apartment but it has bad furniture or a mouse
• An office where everyone talks fast and the boss is a hot but mean woman
• A house in the relatable part of America
Choose a best friend:
• Female whose glasses represent her insecurity
• Male whose glasses represent his insecurity
• Mean spouse
Choose a love interest:
• Man who lives in the city but somehow has a job that involves tilling the earth and making folk art
• Hot boss (turns out she wasn’t really mean, just assertive)
• Single neighbor who is always visible through the window when getting dressed
Choose a montage for the opening credits:
• Main characters sitting on subway trains, walking down streets, and pushing weird sidewalk-people out of the way, then they all end up at a restaurant eating brunch together
• A memo flies around the office, characters take turns catching it and smiling at the camera before it blows away again
• Diapers keep opening up to reveal the names of actors instead of what you would think would be in a diaper
