Thursday
Karaoke at Drinks by Mary Dawn
(535 S. Clinton)
starts around 10:15 or so and starts to fill up around 9:00.
Last week I gave it a second shot--as it turns out, two weeks ago
was the first time the talent brigade*
didn't show up. Rob and Steve just weren't there and
Meghan and Marianne were in
NYC. They were back last week, so I took some
more pictures.
Freetime
and The City keep listing it, so the heck with it:
Buddhahood simply must regularly play on Thursdays at
Red
(171 St. Paul.)
For those curious about the tender underbelly of the
George Eastman House
(900 East Avenue)
they're giving you your chance. It's creatively called the
"Photography Vault Open House" and it offers tours
of the photo vault (imagine that). Tours start at 7 and 9,
included with museum admission.
Friday!
Julia's Star will be playing at Red
(171 St. Paul.)
They're an alternative band, most similar perhaps to
Portisehead in that they use a couple keyboards, a DJ, and have
sort of an etherial sound. I'm not sure how this works, but
Global Groove with Lino will be there from 10 to 2, then
Rob Morley & Junkie B. from -- get this -- 2am to 5am.
The Dryden Theater at
George Eastman House
(900 East Avenue)
begins its 3D weekend with
Friday the 13th, Part III
(in 3D!) at 8pm.
Saturday
Booo...Woooo...OooohBagelo's. Scary.
165 State Street.
Noon.
This afternoon, I figure we can all
pop
over to the Sony Theater at the corner of 68th and Broadway in New York
to see
Being John Malkovich.
We can probably catch an 8:00 show if we leave at 1:00 and be back before dawn. Damn
you limited release!
Night brings many Halloween options...
First is a Halloween party featuring White Cotton Panties
with Sedona & Sweatin' Like Nixon at
Richmonds
(21 Richmond St.)
Next is the
Snmnmnm
concert -- the last show in Rochester.
It's at Java's at
16 Gibb Street.
Of course, some character named Seamus Kennedy is playing at
Milestones
(170 East Avenue)
on November 14. His name is interestingly the same as the
lead singer of Snmnmnm.
Also, at the Village Rock Cafe
(213 Main St., East Rochester)
will be a Halloween party featuring Breakfast Club, a
retro-80's band which I've yet to see. However, being an
eighties junkie, I must. Someday.
The Dryden Theater at
George Eastman House
(900 East Avenue)
continues its 3D weekend with
The Maze
at 2pm and
House of Wax
at 8pm.
For more movie-like entertainment, the
SciFi channel
is showing the Curse of the Blair Witch, a documentary about
the "real" Blair Witch.
Sunday
Halloween!
Remember to get up early this morning to set the 2:00 a.m.
clock back to 1:00 a.m. so that you too can celebrate the end
of the last daylight savings time of the 1900's. Be sure to
only do it once, despite the second occurence of 2:00.
For another to-do, remind Tom Pierce incessantly that he is now
thirty years old. Refuse to understand anything that he says
and simply reply, "You just don't understand me, old man!"
But the event of the day is Perette's
Halloween Party.
It's at her house starting around 1:00 p.m. See the link for details.
Once again, new Simpsons. Two episodes...first, Homer causes an
incident at the nuclear power plant; radiation from X-rays gives Bart
and Lisa superpowers; and Flanders is killed (Guest voices: Lucy Lawless,
Tom Arnold and Dick Clark.) Next, the rerun: Treehouse of Horror IX
... Homer uses a dead convict's scalp as a toupee; Itchy and Scratchy
chase Bart and Lisa; "The Jerry Springer Show" (Guest voices:
Regis Philbin, Kathie Lee Gifford, Ed McMahon and Jerry Springer.)
Monday
Today's "Camera Rochester" meeting (once again at
Atonement Lutheran Church at
1900 Westfall Road)
from 7:30 to 9:30. Since this is a first Monday, they're doing
another contest. With a little effort, I should be able to
throw together a couple pix and give it a shot.
For the rest of you, there's
Weird Al
at the Landmark Theatre Corp
(362 S Salina St in Syracuse [at least that's what MapsOnUs says]).
Tuesday
I had forgotton about this since Token Joe's open mic comedy
used to overlap, but Java's at
16 Gibb Street
hosts an open mic poetry read each Tuesday. I saw it in City then
decided to check it out. It's not nearly as lame as Barnes & Noble
because the people are tougher (al dente), yelling over the espresso machine
and whatnot.
Wednesday
Just South Park at Rohrbach's at
315 Gregory Street.
Showtime at 10:00. Another new episode? You betcha...The boys fall
prey to the Chinpoko Mon craze, which drives their parents to come up
with a way to win back their attention.
For those who want a little culture in your life, the
"Real World" Reunion Tour will visit
SUNY Brockport
featuring David from Seattle, Kaia from Hawaii and Puck
from San Fransisco.
