P1xel Movie Opening

If you like your rock glam, campy, with lots of glitter and tight silver unitards, check out the opening of P1xel and the Chronic Network's first concert film @ Doc Films. February 24 (Tuesday) at 9:15pm.

Stand Up! for Choice

Think feminists have no sense of humor? Chicago's Planned Parenthood chapter says "ha!" to that, with an evening of stand-up comedy to raise money for the March for Women's Lives. Scheduled laugh-mongers include Deb Downing, Will Durst, Emily Dorezas, and Aaron Freeman. At the Park West, 322 W. Armitage, 7:30 pm. Tickets are $20 ($10 with student ID).

Paczki @ Ann Sather's

Ann Sather's, 929 W. Belmont, is serving up a Fat Tuesday delicacy: paczki. Pronounced "punch-key," paczki are decadent cream-filled donuts and are part of the traditional Polish celebration of the last day before Lent. They'll be selling paczki for $1.25 each starting at 7 a.m. until supplies run out. (And of course customers can still get Ann Sather's famous cinnamon rolls, another perfect Mardi Gras food.)
