MONDAY, MARCH 14, 2011 >>>

1. According to King's Books, "It's Pi Day! March 14th aka 3/14 aka 3.14 is Einstein's birthday and a scientifically-proven reason to eat Pie!" Hard to argue with that. In celebration, everyone making a purchase over $3.14 will receive free pie on a stick ... while supplies last.

2. Hip-Bone will fill The Swiss with blues tonight - starting at 8 p.m. Click here to check out the Volcano's extensive live local music listings.

3. Stuck in Chehalis? Bummer. Lucky for you, though, the Matrix Coffeehouse welcomes Chingado, Assassinators and Generation Decline tonight for an all-ages show.

4. The DODO show kicked off at Mad Hat Tea Company over the weekend - to rave reviews. It runs through April 30, but why wait? Today would be an excellent opportunity to see what everyone is talking about.

5. Technology is crazy shit, yo. For example, tonight at the Capital Theater in Olympia, the film Race to Nowhere will be shown - which looks at the pressures of our education system on children. But that's not the crazy part. What takes the cake is the Q&A scheduled with filmmakers after the showing ... via Skype. Check it out at 6:30 p.m.
