1. The Tallhouse Arts Consortium aerialists, whose Facebook profile states, "Farting rhinestones since... ah, we can't even remember," will delight audiences with its strong and sturdy flips, flying and artistic trapeze for the last time this season at 8 p.m. in The Brotherhood Lounge. The group brings in interesting songs, unique performances, flirty fun and guest trapeze artists - all for free. They do happily pass around a hat at the end of the show. Tipping is strongly encouraged. "I think what I love most is about the Tallhouse Arts Consortium is that it takes a good bar environment and turns it upside down. It's not a bar anymore; it's a circus," says Pit Kwiesinski, owner of The Brotherhood." Be on the lookout for a bearded lady.

2. The South Puget Sound Community College Concert Choir and the Puget Sound Community Choir will present their spring concert, A Salute to America, featuring songs celebrating America at 7 p.m. in the Minnaert Center. Selections will include choral arrangements of American folk songs, show tunes, and classics form the 1940s. Te concert is free.

3. Pub trivia nights can either ignite the party or stifle the mood. McNamara's Pub & Eatery in DuPont does everything possible to avoid being a major buzz kill. Every Wednesday McNamara's Pub starts team trivia at 7 p.m. Irish-inspired food helps trivia players stock up on brainpower before the trivia starts. Beer and drink specials happen at trivia intermission. Because everyone knows a good buzz makes trivia that much easier. What's the capital of Kazakhstan? Take a drink and think.

4. Jay Gandhi and Ravi Albright bust out some awesoem world beats at 7:30 p.m. in Traditions Cafe and World Folk Art in downtown Olympia.

5. The Crazy Texas Gypsies - one of the finalists in the Back to Beale Street blues competition - rock the blues at 8 p.m. in Dawson's Bar & Grill.
