THEATRE: Young Jean Lee's Theater Company presents Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven (A Show about White People in Love), which is an aggressively exotic title for someone raised in Pullman, WA.

Writer/director Young Jean Lee's worst nightmare was to make a confessional, ethnic identity play with a flowery Asian-sounding title. So, the young NYC-based artist did just that [...] a character named "Korean-American" navigates increasingly disturbing levels of a pseudo-Korean world intercut with scenes of a white couple discussing their stereotypically dysfunctional relationship.

MUSIC: We remember when Harvey Danger was born, back in 1994. Seattle was hushed that day, expectant. Their first album included the summer anthem “Flagpole Sitta” in 1998. No one quite knew what to do about it. A Seattle band with a hit single on MTV? It was...vulgar somehow, de trop. Fans wearily explained to you that the rest of the album wasn't like "Flagpole Sitta," dammit. Tonight you have the chance to step inside the wayback machine and be transported to those heady, halcyon, pre-Bush administration days. At Harvey Danger's 10th Anniversary Public Spectacle, they're playing that first record, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?, from start to finish.

8pm // the Triple Door, 216 Union St // Tickets: $20

SCIENCE: Glaciologist Konrad Steffens has a few things to share with you: Air temperatures on the Greenland ice sheet have increased by four degrees Celcius since 1991. Between 1979-2006, the melting area increased by 30% for the western part of the ice sheet. Steffens has been studying the effects of the melt-water on the remaining ice, as this NY Times article mentions. The talk is sponsored by the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and the Ocean (JISAO), who must not be aware that it snowed in Baghdad and global warming is a lie.

7:30-8:30pm // UW, Kane Hall, Room 210 // FREE
