TUESDAY, NOV 15, 2011 >>>

1. The Olympia Film Festival continues today, running through Nov. 20 with screenings at the Capitol Theater. Find a full schedule of Olympia Film Festival events here.

2. Grizzled Mighty will perform tonight at Uncle Sam's American Bar Grill in Spanaway. We don't know much about Grizzled Mighty, other than the band's promo shot (above) is totally hot. Literally.

3. Remember the swing dance revival of the late ‘90s? That was fun, right? Well, there's no reason for the good times to stop thanks to OlySwing. Tonight at the Eagles Club in Olympia drop in on the weekly swing dance action from 7:30 - 10:30 p.m. For those in need of a swing refresher or some tips to get started, there's a "quick" beginning swing dance lesson from 7 - 7:30 p.m. hosted by Christine Corey. The action is all-ages, with a $5 admission.

4. Tuesdays seem to be the hottest night for the overeducated South Sound masses to prove their intellectual worth. And where do such brainiacs head? Glad you asked. The GEEKS head to Paddy Coyne's Irish Pub. The Tacoma watering hole is the site of John Dicker's Geeks Who Drink pub quiz night. Dicker, a genius from Colorado, has taken the Irish Pub quiz tradition to a new level with Geeks Who Drink games across the nation, including every Tuesday night at the downtown pub, hosted by graphic artist and Weekly Volcano production assistant Holland Hume. The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions and is played in teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster; teams write their answers on provided sheets and turn them in at the end of each round. The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.

5. Need a good laugh? Try Jazzbones, where every Tuesday comedian Ralph Porter hosts Ha Ha Tuesday starting at 8 p.m. There's a $5 cover, and DJ Omar spins for the masses after the jokes.
