Nightlife, Nov 6-11

Dancing With the Stars at the Raven is this Friday, giving us another opportunity to share this epic photo of Efren in tights.

Exercise your right to party.  Here’s some 707 fun to get you on your way.

Tuesday, Nov 6

To do:  I’d tell you not to forget to vote, but I’m sure all your Facebook friends have already reminded you.  So don’t forget to dig through your leftover Halloween candy for something besides Laffy Taffy and Tootsie Rolls (dang it, who ate all the Reese’s?!?).

West Coast Swing:  Teach your feet a few new tricks with some jazzed up swing dancing at Flamingo Resort.  $10 includes lessons, $7 without.  7 p.m.  2777 Fourth St., Santa Rosa.  flamingoresort.com

Brainstormer Pub Quiz:  Test your knowledge of useless facts in a 6-round tournament of mind boggling trivia.  Bring a team, or join one when you get there.  Free.  8-10 p.m.  Finnegan’s Marin.  877 Grant Ave., Novato.  brainstormer.com/venue/213/finnegans

Wednesday, Nov 7

To do: Re-friend all your overly political friends on Facebook now that the elections are officially over.

The Sea and Cake

The Sea and the Cake:  The salty sweet lyrics of this alt-indie band illuminates a breezy kind of rock against laid back tones and vocals.  Also playing is Matthew Friedberger, one half of the indie rock duo The Fiery Furnaces.  $16.  21-plus.  8 p.m.  McNear’s Theatre.  21 Petaluma Blvd N., Petaluma.  mystictheatre.com

Donna the Buffalo:  Feel good grooves that are danceable and socially conscious, mixing in fiddling cajun zydeco, folk rock, reggae, and country.  $17/$20.  21-plus.  8 p.m.  Hopmonk Tavern.  230 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol.  hopmonk.com
