· The Sponto Gallery in Venice screens Steppenwolf, with director Fred Haines on hand to discuss his "psychedelic adaptation" of the Herman Hesse novel (i.e., clue you in to what substances he might have been on while shooting it).
· At Vroman's Bookstore, Heidi Baker and Eden Jarrin sign Be Jane's Guide to Home Empowerment, their book about how they learned to love the nail gun and seize back control of their home-improvement fates from professional contractors.
