JayceLand's Weekly Rochester Events #153: Women at Seneca Falls

In other news, the crackpots at FreePolls screwed up some of their CGI scripts and you couldn't make a new poll correctly. I even tried using an old one and just changing the answers but it was broken. I thought I'd give Dream Tools a shot. I don't know if I'll use them regularly ... part of the charm was the fill-in-your-own-answer bit.

I'm surmising that Water Street Music Hall (204 N. Water St.) and The Club at Water Street (204 N. Water St., formerly Piranha) are in cahoots for a big old battle-of-the-bands. Starting at 5 at Water Street Music Hall is Sloppy Meateaters, Arms Length, The Imports, Murdock and deltaforce 23. Next door at The Club at Water Street the doors will fling open around 7:30 for the battle of the bands with One Year Nothing versus 36 ATP versus Foniks versus Page 13 versus Against the Odds versus Staple Gunther versus The Goonies versus The Best Yet versus Act Your Age versus None Of the Above versus Erratta versus Over The Line versus Just Short Of Nothing versus The Lightbulbs versus Serene. I'm not clear if both shows are $7 in advance and $10 at the door or if you've got to pay for each one (or if you pay once for both, depending on how you read that sentence.) It does get started early, though. The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Godfather starting at 8.

O'Bagelo's, 165 State Street, noon. The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Godfather: Part II starting at 8. The fun rock band The Hi-Risers will be performing with Irving Klaws at The Bug Jar (219 Monroe Ave.) starting tonight around 10:45. O'er at Monty's Krown (875 Monroe Ave.) is the okay Deepwaterdaze with Orbit Underground starting around 10:30. Mr. Burns will be at Acme Bar & Pizza (495 Monroe Ave.) starting around 9:30 or 10 or so. So it's not the Mr. Burns from The Simpson's but rather, some groove-rock band I recon.

If you ask nice, I bet the people at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will let you eat the gingerbread houses of the Sweet Creations exhibit. It ends today. Be sure to ask first. Open Jar Jam at The Bug Jar (219 Monroe Ave.) tonight and every Sunday. Just like on Thursdays, you can see/do/avoid Karaoke with Sugar Bear at Drinks by Mary Dawn (535 S. Clinton) starting around 9. The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Godfather: Part III starting at 8. Karaoke with Sugar Bear is back at The Blue Room (293 Alexander St.) One of these days I'll have to stop by to see if it's really true.

Eighth Day of Hanukkah Trivia Quiz continues at The Old Toad (277 Alexander St.) My interest is waning, but I keep going and we still haven't won--whether we have a few people or a whole bunch.. We've been within a couple questions of winning, but so has everyone else. It all gets started a little after 9. If you're interested, Johnny's Smoke Free Bar (1382 Culver Rd.) will have a DJ playing Barenaked Ladies tunes.

Tonight at Rochester Association of Performing Arts (727 E. Main St.) there will be an Open House from 6 to 8 p.m. If you've ever wanted to start to or get back to performing, this would be a good thing to check out. As of a few months ago, Java's (16 Gibb Street) still has open mic poetry downstairs starting around 9:30. Tonight from 8 to 10 is an interesting "new-material-only" Open-Mic Comedy Night at Daily Perks (389 Gregory St.) I think they're making it into a workshop type of environment.

W E D N E S D A Y

Weekly karaoke contest with Sugar Bear, at Comix Cafe (3450 Winton Pl.) Tonight at Daily Perks (389 Gregory St.) is Open Mic Night (for music) from 7 to 10.
