"The Aquabats are coming!" That's what the press release says anyway. Well, the band will be at the Rialto Theatre Friday and promises to be "armed with an arsenal of Cheez-Whiz cannons, several hundred pounds of powdered milk and under the spiritual guidance of the Magic Chicken." How could you possibly pass that up? Call the Rialto at 740-0126 for more information.

Feel like dancing? Head down to the Mat Bevel Institute and check out The Club Rhythm Dance Jam, which promises an "alternative, all ages, smoke free" good time with music ranging from techno to blues. The whole thing gets started at 8 p.m. Saturday at 530 N. Stone Ave. Admission is $5 at the door. Call 721-1710 for more information.

The deals roll from this Saturday to the next and the place is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Discounts range from 15 percent to 20 percent so you better get there fast or you may not get anything.
