Midweek Update

It's Tuesday! And there is "nothing" to do. I call bullshit.

It's time for another FREE Secret Science Club at Bell House!
Tonight's speaker is Dr. Donald Johanson, the finder of Lucy the " 3.2-million-year-old early hominid—in the Afar region of Ethiopia. With about 40 percent of Lucy's skeleton intact, she represented a new species, Australopithecus afarensis." (Secret Science Club, July 5, 2009).

I know, too much nerd in one sentence for most of you. But if you miss Dr. Johanson's talk tonight about human development and evolution you can at least check out Lucy's remains at the Discovery Time Square Exposition.


Wednesday, is hump day. And if you're not humping or looking for a little something to set the mood; there's another Drink and Draw at 3rd Ward. With booze, boobies, and charcoal pencils. For $15, ($10 with a friend or date?) you can drink as much PBR as you want and sketch a live model as fast as you can. Bring your own art fart supplies.

Or if you aren't so artistically inclined there is the second, I know I didn't mention the first, FREE SummerScreen (formerly in the McCarren Park Pool now on McCarren's ball fields). Wednesday's showing is Evil Dead 2, you don't have to be an artist to appreciate the beauty of gore, comedy and an army of zombies.

And Thursday, last but not least, I'll demand your attendance at the amazing show happening at Bruar Falls! For ONLY $5 you'll be able to listen to the picnic in winter sounds of Jason Anthony Harris, the absurdly post-pop Stark and Nimo, the cool insanity that is Afuche, and the "unpredictable" Hi Red Center.

Be There or Be Lame!
