As far as I can tell, there is indeed a Pub Crawl in Southwedge tonight starting at 7 p.m. at The South Wedge Colony Bar and Grill (503 South Ave., formerly Dashen Restaurant) Stops are every half-hour, going next to Solera Wine Bar (647 South Ave.) at 7:30, and likewise to Lux Lounge (666 South Ave.), The Tap and Mallet (381 Gregory St.), The Keg (315 Gregory St., behind German House where Rohrbach's used to be), The Beale Street Cafe (689 South Ave.), and finishing at 10 p.m. at Caverly's Pub (741 South Ave., formerly Genesee Co-op Credit Union) I saw a poster at Solera but it's no longer there, and the bartender at Caverly's was coveting his last flyer. I seem to remember it was sponsored by Savor Life or Savor Independents but I can't find any additional info on any of Michael Warren Thomas's websites.

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One) starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, a "skinny-dipping idyll for a pediatrician (Francois Cluzet) and his wife (Marie-Josée Croze) ends with the wife murdered and the husband beaten and baffled about what transpired in the darkness. Eight years later, the cops pin the crime on a serial killer but still suspect the husband, who's pulled back into the past by a cryptic e-mail indicating his wife is still alive." It's based on the American novel, Tell No One.I can't really tell if it's admired for artistic reasons or for enjoyment, though.
