• First Thursday Art Opening: "Random Thoughts and Observations" 5pm to 8pm @ The Artist Within 313 S. Walnut St

  The Artist Within presents "Random Thoughts and Observations…fairly recent work by Bob Hartley" from February 2-25.  There will be an opening reception First Thursday, February 2nd from 5-8pm and the public is welcome to come meet the artist and enjoy light refreshments.

  The variety of mediums explored in this exhibit is as random as the subject matter and reflects Hartley's eagerness to try whatever seems to interest him at the moment.  The local artist, art educator and studio owner explains his approach as "trying clear out some of the clutter in my mind".  He jokes that his wife would probably prefer that he "clear out the clutter" on his desk, in his closet and in the garage.  Bob further explains his random thoughts, "I'm sure everyone has had those nights when you are trying to fall asleep, but your mind is still going full throttle.  Eventually you have to deal with these thoughts.  It is sort of like deleting things on your computer to open up more space on the hard drive. I guess this show is my attempt to clean up my hard drive".

  Some of the work reflects the artist's "thoughts and observations" from a period when his mother was staying in an independent living facility. The artist says that when it is the child's turn to care for the parent, it is important that the child maintain that same sense of humor that the parent had used to keep her sanity when caring for you.

  It is Hartley's hope that the viewers will recognize some of his "random thoughts and observations" and have an "ah ha" moment as they identify with them.

  Description

  This will be a night of all female fronted bands!

  Indianapolis' Slothpop will open the night out.
  
  This will be the first stop on the Bleached/Black Belles tour so make sure to come out and show these ladies your support.

  "Prior to the band's breakup last year, Los Angeles' Mika Miko gained reputation for their energetic live performances, as well as the spiny, hooky punk let loose in songs like "I Got a Lot (New New New)". From the ashes of that band rises Bleached, a duo comprised of MM's Jessica and Jennifer Clavin. Bleached's brand of jangly guitar-pop is more streamlined than Mika Miko, and early singles "Think of You" and "Searching Through the Past" will have a few reaching for Best Coast comparisons." - Pitchfork.com

• Trivia Brawl 9pm @ Doc's Music Hall 215 S. Walnut

  Every Sunday, egos are crushed and legends are born at Doc's Sunday Trivia Brawl. Come and play for free, solo or with a team, and show off your command of all knowledge trivial. Win, and split up a a $50 Doc's gift certificate on booze, food, or merchandise. Every game is six rounds of trivia questions on a wide variety of topics in pop culture, science, history, and current events. Every tenth question is part of our inadvertent quest to discriminate against the deaf, and has players listening to a song and attempting to identify its title, band, and album. The sixth round is a special visual aid round in which the blind are instead at an unfair disadvantage. Team signup starts at 9pm, and unless we go into a Sudden Death Lightning Bloodfeud Overtime Round (of Death), the game tends to wrap up at about 11pm.
