Can't Miss It: Wednesday

What's on tap for your Wednesday? A movie about mountains? A stirring evening with Tom Brokaw? It's all here.
KISS ME KATIE: If you saw Mad Rad perform at City Arts Fest this year, you probably left wondering who that spunky lady was who opened for them. Playful and danceable, without losing the lyrical luster that Katie (real name: Katie Finn) has come to be known for, this classically-trained composer and MC is the real, double-named deal.
Katie Kate, Noddy, Glitterbang, Secret Shoppers // 8 p.m. // Chop Suey // $7
GOING FOR BROKAW: Tom Brokaw may be one of the biggest names in television news, but he knows a little something about what happens on the other side of the broadcast desk, too. His new book, The Time of Our Lives, touches on American family dynamics and inter-generational relationships. Listen to him speak about the news, families, and everything else, thanks to Seattle Arts and Lectures, tonight at Benaroya Hall.

DRAWN TO SCALE: Whether you're itching to get to the mountains, or have an overpowering fear of heights (and love of being tortured by it), tonight's stop of the The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is your destination. Tickets are sold out, but there's a wait-list each night beginning at 6 p.m., which is totally worth it if you'd like to see footage from some of the world's most impressive peaks.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour // 7 p.m. // Mountaineers Program Center , 7700 Sand Point Way // $15+
