1. Fast Eddie Felson from the 1961 classic The Hustler wasn't good with booze, money or women. But he could sure shoot a mean game of pool, and that made all the difference. Malarkey‘s Pool & Brew offers Man Day Mondays with half-priced burgers, 25 percent off drinks and free pool on the 9-foot tables. Half-priced burgers and free pool? Fast Eddie would be proud.

2. Dockside Bistro and Wine Bar in Olympia - in conjunction with Walter Dacon Wines and McCrea Cellars/Vina Salida - will be hosting a five-course benefit dinner and silent auction in support of Mercy Corps (a 501 (c) 3 charity) and Japanese relief at 6:30 p.m.

3. The Tacoma Cult Movie Club meets for a night of sequels, shorts, trailers and kickass popcorn at 7 p.m. inside the Acme Grub Cage.

4. Momenti Rubati performs eloquent Latin jazz at 7 p.m. inside The Royal Lounge.

5. Magoo's Annex hosts Micro Mondays with DJ Melodica spinning punk, post punk, New Wave, early electronica, garage and more beginning at 8:30 p.m.
