1. The Olympia Experimental Music Festival kicks off today at Northern. In its 17th year, it promises to be as strange and wonderful as ever. If you're looking for something a little more straightforward perhaps, find the Volcano's extensive South Sound live local music listings here.
2. Proof opens today at Tacoma Little Theatre, billed as a story about a woman named Catherine and her father, Robert, who is a "brilliant mathematician, who has misplaced both his brilliance and sanity in later years." Or, if you're looking for something else, browse the Volcano's South Sound arts and entertainment calendar here.
