Can't Miss It: Monday

RE-JOYCE: Still giddy from a weekend of ridiculously inexpensive used books, courtesy of the Friends of the Library book sale? Crushed because you missed it? Either way, lit fans across the 206 (and likely many from the 425 and 360) are flocking downtown tonight: prolific novelist, poet and critic Joyce Carol Oates is speaking at Benaroya Hall. Get ready to politely clap and nod along.
7:30 pm // Benaroya Hall \ S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium // $15-$70, Online

TRAVELS WITH CHARLIE: What happens when a suicidal ballerina and a a sad, aging comedian (/drunk) get to be besties? To find out, skip to SIFF for tonight's showing of Limelight, a dram-edy from 1952, featuring--who else?--Charlie Chaplin.
7:30 pm // SIFF Cinema, McCaw Hall // $10

CROWN JEWELBOX: Nothing beats Belltown on a Monday night, especially with a punchy lineup of indie/Americana bands in the opulent/awful/amazing Jewelbox Theater at the Rendezvous. Invest in a night of strong drinks and sweet tunes with Plant Party, the Elderly and Annabel Lee.
9 pm // Rendezvous // $6

AND MANY HAPPY RETURNS: You taxes are due today. File now, lest ye be audited.
Today // The United States // Depends
