1. Take an international cast, a rolling landscape in Flint, Mich., the thundering music of Red Hex and the twisted, talented mind of Isaac Olsen and you have German expressionist art film, Ich Hunger. The film - shot in black and white with splashes of color - is in German with English subtitles. The plot concerns a murderous creature boy who terrorizes the farming township of Frondenberg, Germany and an inspector, Stephen Heckel, travels from Frankfurt to hunt him down. Ich Hunger will screen at 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. inside The Grand Cinema. Read Rev. Adam McKinney's review of the film in the Weekly Volcano's Arts section.

2. New Old Town Tacoma cafe Treos has been closed for the past week due to more remodeling needs. That was a week without stellar flatbreads and a great beer selection. It's hosting a grand opening celebration all day today at 2312 N. 30th St.

3. Jazzy's Cafe at 3701 S. Lawrence St. in Tacoma hosts an all-ages Jazz Jam Session with the Peter Adams Trio from 7-10 p.m. Wine and cold beer are available.

4. C.L.A.W., teams up with the lovely, local cosplay group Super Sirens at 7:30 p.m. for an event at King's Books that will likely shake the foundations of the world, as we know it. The event entitled Real Life Comics will give the public the ability to create its own cartoon creation based on the models of the wonderful ladies of the aforementioned Super Sirens. Read Weekly Volcano intern Sean Contris' interview with C.L.A.W. for the sweet details.

5. At 8 p.m. several musicians will explore the art of the tape loop at the all-ages club Northern in downtown Olympia.
