1. Art Chantry is to rock posters what Bobble Tiki is to boxed wine consumption - quite simply, the very best. Having created for labels like Estrus, Rhino, Sub Pop and Chuckie-Boy, and worked with just about everyone there is to work with - from the Center on Contemporary Art to Hempfest and beyond - Chantry‘s imagery is iconic, as are the punk ideals they're based upon. He also punched his time card four different times as art director for the Rocket music rag. At 7 p.m., he'll be at the Tacoma Main Library. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

2. The Olympia Supply Company hosts green minded DIY home improvement workshops every Wednesday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. That cracked Y-connector in your sewer line isn't going to fix itself.

3. Big Chunk, Phantom Power, Big Quinn & The Broken Hearts and Woodshed will rock Hell's Kitchen beginning at 8 p.m.

4. Sellers' Inspector Clouseau (in his second outing after The Pink Panther) - convinced sexy suspect Elke Sommer is innocent (despite leaving in-his-face murders in her wake) - trails her through Paris and to an even-more-picturesque nudist colony, donning a strategically-placed guitar ... Not now Kato! ... en route in the film A Shot In The Dark (1964), screening at 9 p.m. inside the Capitol Theater.

5. Your Girlfriend's Favorite DJ spins beginning at 10 p.m. during College Night at Masa Comida Mexicana.
