1. Priscilla Dobler will be creating artwork for the Woolworth Windows installation ... live. You may peer at her through the window, day and night, as she takes textiles fromwhite and minimal to lively and colorful with her floor loom and colorful cotton threads. Dobler will be performing in the window Oct. 14 -18. The woven pieces she creates during this performance will be given away to the homeless, available for sale to passersby, or left in the window for the remainder of the exhibition. 

2. Friends of the Gig Harbor Library wildlife photographer Paul Bannick at 7:30 p.m. Bannick specializes in the natural history of North America, with a focus on birds and habitat. He creates images that foster intimacy between viewer and subject, inspiring education and conservation.

3. In the same way that sharks must keep swimming to keep breathing, it seems guitarist Rafael Tranquilino must fuse genres across various musical projects in order to stay afloat. His arrangements incorporate blues, funk, rock, funk, ska, metal, reggae, Latin and jazz-fusion. As accomplished as he is varied, Tranquilino can be seen every Monday night at 8 p.m. as host of Stonegate Pizza's rockin' blues, if not experimental, jam.

4. Pianist Nate D., bassist Cameron and drummer Peter T. have launch the city's newest jazz jam inviting talent to sit in as the house trio explores straight ahead, funk and space. Not all gigs qualify as a hang, but this one has the precise alchemy that could draw the area's best players: a high level of musicianship, a relaxed atmosphere and a sympathetic intergenerational crowd. Ask any working jazz musician, and the hang is what it's all about.Hang at 8 p.m. in The New Frontier Lounge.

5. Every Monday Jazzbones is packed to the brim with college kids. Party types. The type that wear tight shirts and trucker hats. Throngs of Chad Fratguys and Sarah Sororitysisters swarm the bar, line up for the bathroom and dance to the Rockaraoke - live band karaoke. The Rockaraoke band is skilled, too. Expect $2 PBR drafts, $3 Sinfire shots, $4 Smirnoff flavor vodka bombs. It all goes down at 9 p.m.
