1. Olympia producer/director Terrence Knight turned the streets of Olympia into the Bronx for his indie short film, The Prince of Arthur Avenue, which screens at 6 p.m. inside the Yelm Cinemas. The film features John Fantasia (The King of New York, Highlander) and well as many denizens of downtown Olympia. Admission is free.

2. Pour At Four wine bar in Tacoma's Proctor District will pour $10 tastes of the 2010 Mollydooker wines, including the Scooter, Two Left Feet, Boxer, Blue Eyed boy, Enchanted Path and Carnival of Love from 5:30-8 p.m.

3. Poet Carolyne Wright spent four years in Bangladesh collecting and translating the work of Bengali women poets and writers. She will read from her book Majestic Nights: Love Poems of Bengali Women at 6 p.m. inside Orca Books in Olympia.

4. The music of Canadian prog-rock gods Rush will reach the screen of The Grand Cinema at 7 p.m in a special showing of the concert film Time Machine 2011: Live in Cleveland. The film captures a show from Rush's "Time Machine" tour, during which the band played its album Moving Pictures in its entirety every night. That 1980 album contained the power trio's most well-known songs and perennial radio favorites including "Tom Sawyer," "Limelight" and the Grammy-nominated instrumental "YYZ." We know exactly where Publisher Pappi and his old-fart friends will be tonight.

5. There is no such thing as too many open jam nights. If you agree with that statement, then you probably know the Harmon Tap Room has launched a Wednesday Open Jam from 7-9 p.m. The Stadium District brewpub hosts spotlight local performers every week to back those willing to get up and jam.
