SHORT FILMS: Tonight, the awards for this year's 48-Hour Film Project are being given out at the Harvard Exit, after a screening of top films. The festival this year included over 50 teams, who were given three elements to include in a film to be made in two days. The full screenings of all submissions took place back on June 23-25, but you can catch the creme de la creme tonight. 9 p.m. // Harvard Exit Theater // 807 E. Roy St. // $10

PILLOW TALK: Almost no one we know gets a terrific night's sleep these days. Either it's restlessness or insomnia or neighbors, but it's tricky to get sleep to shroud you in his purple cloak. Dr. Catherine Darley, a naturopathic doctor from The Institute of Naturopathic Sleep Medicine has put together a Sleep 101 seminar (seminars do put us to sleep!) on what normal sleep is, and what can go wrong: sleep disordered breathing (and its effects on the cardiovascular system), insomnia, et al. And she'll talk about how sleep deprivation affects you, and how a sleep disorder can increase obesity.

Katelyn's hitting up Wizdom's birthday show to catch Large Professor (aww yeah!) on Friday night. For Saturday, her calendar reads: Graffiti Rock, Sportn' Life Edition. MUST GO." She'll be hungover enough on Sunday to need homemade pomegranate mimosas, vegan guacamole, red velvet cake and coconut-crusted tofu at an undisclosed location while she hangs out with the ladies of 206Proof.

If you haven't voted yet today, what the hell are you waiting for? But just in case you need a little musical enticement to get you to the polling place and/or post office, the lovely and talented Three Imaginary Girls have put together an Election Day podcast. Featuring a smattering of Northwest/indie/pop bands, including Damien Jurado, A Gun that Shoots Knives, and (the so appropriate) These United States, the Girls encourage you to download the podcast and take it to the polls. Even better? TIG will have a new weekly podcast from now till the end of the year. You know that's one Election Day promise that will be kept.

Saturday afternoon MvB is going to talk to a pack of Emerging Critics at the Seattle Rep--and hopefully avoid being panned--before heading to the Moore for Compagnie Heddy Maalem's version of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps. Sunday he's packing for Iceland. Warm socks, etc.

THE LO DON'T STOP: Camp Lo is two emcees out of the Bronx--Geechi Suede and Sonny Cheeba--who deliver consistently fly, catchy tracks to the masses. Their latest single is called "Lumdi" (listen here), which means something approximating "sexually attractive female." Gonna be a packed show, and a perfect choice if you want to dance and kick off your weekend with some superlative hiphop.

Stalk of the Town returns! This weekend officially welcomes us to the rainy season. So how will Seattlest be reaffirming life and nourishing our collective creative urge?

No, Seattle, you didn't read that headline or poster wrong. There are plans in the works to turn Seattle's venerable dive bar, the Blue Moon, into a warm and welcoming womb tomorrow night. The Blue Moon has been described as many many things--but warm, welcoming, and womb-like have probably never been used in its 70+ years of business. However, considering the guys behind this great band picture are designing the womb, we have the utmost faith that we'll have to be physically removed from the clutches of the Blue Moon tomorrow night by cold surgical hands. (Or at the very least, by Tom, the door guy.)
