Can't Miss It: Wednesday

PURE HILARIUM: Frank Entertainment Showcase brings Wits Up!, a showcase of its best and brightest talent to Town Hall. It's a lively night of 8 mini-performances by satirists, musical wizards, and solo artists--from jazz humorist Jay Leonhart to cabaret songwriter Ray Jessel to Stephanie Satie's solo shows about female American immigrants. Think Marvin Hamlisch meets Noel Coward meets Anna Deavere Smith, before they became the names that they are.

7:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. // Town Hall, 1119 8th Ave // $15

VERY SUBTLE: Seattle Asian Art Museum show Inspired Simplicity: Contemporary Art from Korea, is a collection of contemporary Korean artists who have created works that re-interpret the aesthetic of the Choson era. The era's aesthetic, one inspired by Neo-Confucianism, favors clean simplicity. See the collection and then enjoy the simple beauty of Volunteer Park.

10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. // Seattle Asian Art Museum, 1400 East Prospect Street // $5 adults, $3 students, Free for SAM members

BACK IN THE WILD WEST: The band Westerly, who self-describes as "urban cowboy music," is playing at the Tractor tonight. This local alt-country band conjures images of a roaming Western life so strongly that we imagine we're there, even while cruising over the floating bridge to Bellevue.

9:00 p.m. // The Tractor Tavern, 5213 Ballard Ave NW // $6
