Today

Tomorrow
Can Terrorists Make Us Laugh? — Much to everyone’s surprise, a television comedy script that pokes fun at terrorists didn’t go over too well in Hollywood.

Mae — This band’s name is an acronym for Multisensory Aesthetic Experience. Strangely though, the aesthetics sound much like a pop punk band trying to act smart. Come see if they pull it off. 7:30 p.m. $12. The Rock. 136 N. Park Ave. (21+)
