Thursday – God’s pottery
The New York city comedy duo are currently touring on the heels of the release of their debut book, “What Would God’s Pottery Do?” And fans of the former “Last Comic Standing” contenders can catch their Christianity-tinged, Flight of the Conchords-esque comedy act Nov 5., when they will perform with Emmett Montgomery and Kevin Hyder at Chop Suey. God’s Pottery is Jeremiah Smallchild and Gideon Lamb, and the two faux-ascetics are sure to make Moses-style waves in the blue sea of Seattle. So swing by and you too can become part of “Team Jesus.” It’s the only team they play for, after all. Chop Suey, 8 p.m., $10, all ages.
Friday- Ma Vie En Rose
Seattle University Counselors for Social Justice will be showing the film “Ma Vie En
Rose,” a powerful story about gender identity in suburban Belgium. Ludovic, a seven
year old Belgian boy, likes to dress in skirts and dreams of growing up to be a woman so
he can marry the boy next door. His family must face their discomfort and the total
absence of understanding from their community. Pop and pizza will be provided.
Loyola room 203, 6 p.m. Free. RSVP is recommended at vong@seattleu.edu.
Saturday- All that jazz
David Pierre-Lewis, owner of LUCID, a jazz club on The Ave, has succeeded in the seemingly impossible—getting college students to listen to jazz. His club is a regular hang out for UW students who are tired of dingy clubs and rock and hip-hop music, and want something a little classier. As a celebration for the club’s one year anniversary, Pierre-Lewis is hosting a “jazz walk”—essentially a night of jazz music at different locations and times up and down The Ave. Venues include Tully’s, LUCID, The District Lounge, and even A-Pizza Mart, and lots of local jazz musicians will be playing late into the night.
11 a.m.-2 a.m., Various Ave Locations, Free ($5 gets you a band-supporting wristband and drink specials)
Sunday – “Professor of archeology, expert on the occult, and how does one say it?
Obtainer of rare antiquities.”
Cinerama is opening its 70mm Mini Film Series Sunday Nov. 8 with the classic action film “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” A precursor to the IMAX, Cinerama technology dates back to the 1939 world’s fair when inventor Fred Walter premiered
this larger-than-life movie format. Cinerama movies are shown in a “three eyed process,”
meaning it takes three projectors to complete the picture. Cinerama in Seattle
is one of only two theatres left today that can still present movies in this format. The theater will be showing “The Last Crusade” with Sean Connery and Harrison Ford in all its action packed, Nazi-thwarting, treasure hunting glory.
12 p.m., Cinerama (2100 4th Avenue), $8.50.
Monday – DEVO
You may know DEVO from their one-hit-wonder track “Whip It,” but in fact the band was around long before and long after that iconic 1980 track. DEVO began in Ohio in 1973, and have actually been making music consistently since then. Their sound is sort of a Kraftwerk-meets-Duran Duran mix of electronic and dance-pop, and the band is also known for wearing extremely silly costumes onstage—everything from full construction worker gear to their infamous flower pot hats (check Google Images if you don’t know what we’re talking about).
DEVO plays at the Moore Theater on Sunday and Monday, Nov. 8 and 9, $38-$75.
Tuesday- The Mountain Goats
Despite the song titles of their most recent album all being references to Bible verses, North Carolina based indie-folk trio The Mountain Goats are most definitely not a Christian band. They make poetic, narrative folk music, and lead singer John Darnielle could possibly be the most bitter person alive. Their new album "The Life of the World to Come" was released on July 28th, and uses the Bible verse-titled songs to critique the Bible and the world in general. The Mountain Goats bring their lo-fi jams to the Showbox at
the Market on Tuesday for an all-ages show that's not to be missed.
November 10th, 8 p.m., $20.
Wednesday- Veterans’ Day
Thank your local veterans and enjoy a day off from classes.
