MUSIC: Oakland's groovy Bare Wires, "who like to drive around in a van a lot," hit the Hemlock for the late show tonight, along with equally edgily groovy-sounding Nashville's Natural Child and New Jersey's Liquor Store. (9 p.m., Hemlock Tavern, 1131 Polk Street)

DRAG: Popular drag event, Cocktailgate, is calling it quits tonight with a big send-off, featuring a long line-up of cleverly-named performers, such as Suppositori Spelling, Karma Zabetch, and Urethra Franklin, performing many of the club's most popular numbers from its 3-1/2 year run. (9 p.m., Rebel, 1760 Market Street)

FILM: Check out Dr. Steve Brule John C. Reilly in Terri, "a moving and often funny film about the relationship between Terri (Jacob Wysocki), an oversized teen misfit and the loquacious but well-meaning vice principal (John C. Reilly) who reaches out to him." (7 p.m., Roxie Theater, 3117 16th Street)
