Maquilapolis
If your weekend of club-hopping has left you limping, nauseated, and half-deaf, catch a flick with a purpose tonight at the Longshoreman's Hall, presented by the Latino Student Organization and the ACLU Chapter at University of Washington Tacoma. Sergio De La Torre, the critically acclaimed co-director of Maquilapolis: City of Factories, will screen and discuss his flick about examines the effects of globalization and unfair labor of female factory workers in Tijuana, Mexico. This film is the winner of the 2007 Latin American Studies Association CASA Award of Merit in Film. What did you win in the clubs this weekend? A-huh. â€" Suzy Stump
[Longshoremen’s Hall, 6:30 p.m., free, 1710 Market St., Tacoma]

MUSIC
Queerfest
Decisions, decisions. At Blockbuster, it takes at least an hour to decide between the comedy and the love story, and well, by that time, you may want the horror movie. But, really â€" why choose one when you can choose both, right? Thinking along those lines, there is a crowd that completely agrees with you. Celebrate the virtue of indecisiveness March 3-5 by attending Queerfest in Olympia. Scream Club, Nicky Click, Romanteek, The Von Foxies, Team Gina, Twin, and 40 more bands will shake Jake’s on 4th for four days. â€" SS
[Jake’s on 4th, March 3-5, $5-$6 a day, 311 Fourth Ave. E., Olympia]
