DST (daylight saving time) ended this past weekend—clocks fell back and theoretically all of us got an extra hour of sleeping or drinking or something in. We should feel more rested, less rushed, early rather than late for a day or two. Unfortunately, I don’t use an alarm clock, and babies and cats don’t pay much attention to CST or DST, so I didn’t get an extra hour of anything.
Here are five things to do.
AROUND TOWN/FILM/DRINK UP - Movieoke
Movies + karaoke = one hell of a bar night. Blending the art of drunken mike takeovers with the science of yelling out quotes to one’s favorite films, movieoke allows patrons to choose their favorite movie scene (out of the 200 or so available, including Halloween, pictured) and act it out while the actual film clip plays on a projector. Be prepared for awesomely awful acting. The Whistler, 2421 N Milwaukee Ave (773-227-3530), 9pm, FREE!
THEATER - End Days
Jesus and Elvis both play a significant part in Deborah Zoe Laufer’s new dysfunctional family comedy, opening tonight in a Chicago premiere directed by Shade Murray. Next Theatre Company, 7pm, $25–$40.
NIGHTLIFE - Soulico
It’s not often that you run across an Israeli turntablist crew with a debut album boasting guest spots from Ghostface Killah, Rye Rye and Del the Funkee Homosapien. Yet here’s Soulico, the four man team headed by noteworthy dub and funky breaks producer Sabbo. Tonight, the group performs live alongside MC Zulu, peppered with DJ sets from each member. DJ Searchl1te represents for the Chicago scene. Empty Bottle. 9:30pm. FREE!
FILM - Loren Cass
The ouststanding indie Loren Cass captures life at the fringes: Three young outsiders in St. Petersburg, Florida, find each other and make tenuous connections. This is solid filmmaking anchored by rich performances. Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N State St at Randolph St (312-846-2600). El: Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple (rush hrs) to State/Lake; Red to Lake; Blue to Clark/Lake. Mon 2 at 7:45pm, Tue 3 at 7:45pm. $9, students $7, members $5.
MUSIC - Roger Daltrey
Daltrey’s “Use It or Lose It” tour is mainly an exercise to get his voice in shape for the next Who album, but it’s excuse enough to see a legend perform in a relatively intimate space. House of Blues, 8:30pm, $78.
