KEEP ON 69-ING: The Northwest Film Forum's yearlong film series highlighting the wide breadth of movies that came out in 1969 continues with two fine American features. Sydney Pollack's Depression-era dance marathon They Shoot Horses Don't They? was nominated for nine Oscars (winning one), while John Schlesinger's gigolo drama Midnight Cowboy is still the only X-rated film to win Best Picture. Both films play through Thursday with the former running at 6:15 and the latter at 8:30 every night.

INAUGURATION PRE-FUNK: On this most hallowed Inauguration Eve, head to Neumo's and raise a mighty yawp for Obama with Orkestar Zirkonium. They'll bring the party with their local take on Eastern European brass and drums. Also on the bill: the funkdefied r&b grooves of Emerald City Soul Club and the urban Latin flavor of Picoso.
