Get Out

THEATER: The Brown Derby Series, which debilitated audiences last year with their staged production of Trapped in the Closet, is back, this time they're doing Total Recall. With Seattlest favorite Dusty Warren!

Doors at 7pm, show at 8pm // Re-bar [1114 Howell] // $12, 21 and over only, runs through Thursday. No reservations, you may want to line up early.

SPORTS: #1 O'Dea hosts #4 Chief Sealth. You've gotta see a game at O'Dea's gym sometime, it's this bandbox that goes about 10 rows deep. It's like seeing a game at one of those gyms in Hoosiers. With Seattlest favorite Nyandigisi Moikobu!

7:30pm // O'Dea High [802 Terry (at Columbia St.), First Hill] // $6 ($4 with your ASB card!)

BOOKS: Think of Taylor Branch as the Shelby Foote of the Civil Rights Movement. His exhaustively researched three-volume history of the movement won him the Pulitzer Prize. He delivers the Seattle Public Library's A. Scott Bullitt Lecture in American History tonight.

7pm // Central Library [1000 4th Ave, at Madison] // Free (there's a special $5 rate for parking in the library's underground garage)

POLITICS: Celebrate the unremitting horror of daily life in Iraq during tonight's State of the Union address by drinking an Irish car bomb whenever President Bush says "sectarian violence." Ha! Get it? If so, join other lefties for the SOTU drinking game.

5:30pm // Montlake Ale House [2307 24th ave E] // Free

TRIVIA: Seattlest trivia resumes after a one week hiatus due to Seth being a total pussy about driving in the snow. Good news--the Old Pequliar has a new cook and a new menu. Guaranteed category: Beer.

8pm // Old Pequliar // $5 per team
