MONDAY, JULY 8 2013 >>>

1. As the clock nears 5 p.m. you'll once again think only of post-work drinking. Today we suggest you add a little class to your happy hour adventure. The Broadway Center of the Performing Arts hosts a happy hour combining apps, beer and wine with hoopla over its 2013-14 season from 5-7 p.m. inside the Pantages Theater. It kicks off its general sale of its upcoming season with fanfare and the opportunity to pick you own seat.

2. The Greta Jane Quartet welcomes Lorree Gardener and Danielle Westbrook for a night of jazz at The Royal Lounge beginning at 8 p.m.

3. Standup comedy hasn't evolved much since the glory days of ventriloquist and puppet. Every so often, there's a Gallagher smashing watermelons or a musical funnyman like Jack Black, but for the most part, comedy is a dude on a stage with a microphone, plodding through a joke-punchline-new-joke routine. You're funny. You need to change the course of comedy forever. At 8 p.m. the Grit City Comedy Club opens its stage to the public for a comedy open mic.

4. Rod Cook is a well respected, in demand Seattle area guitarist known for his stylistic versatility and soulful, melodic playing. Best known for his work with folk/funk, Americana artist Laura Love in the 1990s and the early part of this decade, guitarist, vocalist Rod Cook began the guitar at the age of 9. Check him out and his band at 8 p.m. in The Swiss.

5. East Coast hip-hop MC Omega Jackson - "a grimy beat and lyrical explosion with heart" - joins P. Wrecks at 9 p.m. in Le Voyeur.
