LAUGHS AND CHINESE ROCKERS >>>
1. Bebop reigns, and the talented musicians play hard and fast during SAX Restaurant's Tuesday open jazz jam beginning at 9 p.m. The music is stellar, and a listener can be thrown back to the late-1940s, with musicians playing their hearts out and the crowd joining in and egging them on.
2. Drawn from world-renowned graphic designer Kit Hinrich's collection of over 5,000 American flags and flag-related objects, the Harbor History Museum's Stars and Stripes exhibit presents America's icon from a unique perspective as a national brand, a logo and a symbol that is filled with emotion and levels of meaning that change with the political and cultural climate of the times. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. check out Civil War-era flags, jewelry, toys, political memorabilia, and more.
