Pre-weekend Weekend Lunch Invite 38: Watch TV, Strenghten Bones

Remember kids, Mental Illness Awareness Week runs from October 3 to October 9. RIT wraps up the week with their Brick City Festival with Jon Stewart headlining on Saturday (the 9th).

Movies

Movies this week (links courtesy The Internet Movie Database, duh):

• The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland: Three monthts after Oscar's wife left him, Elmo moves in with him and insists on keeping the can much cleaner than it ever was.
• Drive Me Crazy: Nicole Maris (Melissa Joan Hart) hates her neighbor Chase Hammond (Adrian Grenier) but she needs a date so Salem Saberhagan turns him into a fairy prince.
• Mystery, Alaska: The movie Tom will see.
• Plunkett & MaCleane: The title characters generously rid 18th century aristrocrats of their belongings.
• Three Kings: George, Gulf, and Gold.

Thursday

Those of you who read carefully last week, and those of you in the know know Buddhahood is at Red (650 N. Meter Street) tonight. Show after show, they manage to totally not suck. Who knew.

Friday!

Tonight at Milestones (170 East Avenue.), 3FU sneaks in under the wire to play on the same card as Meg & the Clams (for happy hour) and The Watchmen. You can see their past in future tense at the 3FU web page.

Saturday

O'Bagelo's: Noon. High Noon.

Out of curiosity, I may be enticed to see Commander Cody & his Lost Planet Airmen at Dinosaur Bar-b-que. Among other things (and if they're the same group), they were known for the song, "Hot Rod Lincoln."

Sunday

Nothing to do but movies, really, except--and I don't know anything about it, but I'm game to go cold--"How to Leave Adolescense at 30" is at the Downstairs Cabaret Theater (20 Windsor St..)

Monday

As this is among the set of first and third Mondays of each month, there's another Camera Rochester meeting tonight at Atonement Lutheran Church at 1900 Westfall Road from 7:30 to 9:30. A couple weeks ago there was a guy who talked about how to make money taking pictures. How convenient...I don't remember what this week holds, but it'll probably be at least slightly interesting.

Tuesday

At 10:00 p.m., Dan Liberto hosts the open mic comedy night at Token Joe's at 150 Andrews Street.

Wednesday

This is getting to be a pattern, I know, but there really isn't a whole heck of a lot of thrilling things going on during the midweek run. Now once again, Matt The Bartender switches the Rohrbach's's TV's to Comedy Central and pumps up the volume to watch South Park which runs at the ten o'clock hour. If you thought it was remotely funny at home, try it after a few pints of Scotch Ale. All this joy happens at Rohrbach's on 315 Gregory Street.

I'll be there at 12:00. For the few of you who haven't been there, it's on State Street between the Federal Building and Frontier Field. It's south of 490 and north of Andrews on the west side of the street (i.e., across from West Group on the east side.) Their sign is flush against the building so it's a little hard to see unless you're looking. They've got a variety of sandwiches on bagels, fresh bread or fresh rolls, and some soups. There are some veggie stuff too, but sometimes they don't make the fried eggplant very early.

Anyhow, RSVP, call, e-mail, or just show up.
