Wednesday: The New Thursday

Wednesday nights at the Beauty Bar features Hip-hop and Dancehall at "Flavor in Ya Ear." Come for the music, stay for the $2 Cuervo shots and $3 rum-and-cokes, and leave nauseous.

'Indie' more your thang? It's DIY DJ night, "Indie Circus," at the Hush Hush -- bring a CD or an iPod and spend fifteen minutes looking for something besides the Bloc Party and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah that everyone else also thought to play. Extra points for slipping "Don't Stop Believin'" into your set.

Two movie screenings you might want to check out. First, pick up a copy of The Onion and head down to the Embarcadero Center Cinema to catch a free preview screening of "The Aristocrats." Or drop by the Victoria Theater for a showing of "This Divided State."
