1. White Ribbon - the 2010 Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film - is an unsettling story set in a small, pre-World War I German village. Strange things are happening. Fear and suspicion spread as everyone tries to discover who is responsible. Featuring monochrome cinematography, the film was shot in color and the color was then removed. Roger Ebert calls the effect "visually masterful" and says "color would be fatal to [the film's] power." It will screen at 9 p.m. inside the Capitol Theater.
2. The State Capital Museum hosts historian Karen Johnson who will discuss the history of The West Shore at noon.
3. The Graphic Novel Book Club will discuss Me and the Devil Blues I: The Unreal Life of Robert Johnson by Akira Hiramoto at 7 p.m. inside the 1022 South lounge on Hilltop Tacoma.
4. Loose Gravel & The Quarry will fill The Swiss with blues at 8 p.m.
5. Jazz singer Greta Jane performs at 8 p.m. inside The Royal Lounge.
