Interactive Showgirls Screening
You know
Showgirls has become a cult classic, right? Well, so does MGM. As a promotion for the new "
VIP Edition" DVD, an "interactive screening of the campy stripper flick is showing at the Landmark Century Cinemas, 2828 N. Clark, tonight at 7:30pm. You'll be given a goodie bag of props -- including fake $100 bills to throw at the screen during lapdance scenes -- and prizes will be given for the best costumes. Best of all, it's free! Just download a copy of
this PDF ticket for you and a guest. It's first-come, first-served, so get there early to grab a seat. More info

Bob Newhart statue unveiled
Today at 8:00 AM at 430 N. Michigan Avenue,
TV Land will unveil a bronze statue of Bob Newhart, whose "Bob Newhart Show" took place in Chicago, and whose character had a psychiatry office in that building. Bob Newhart (who was born in Oak Park, oddly enough) will speak at the ceremony. So you should attend, and then shout out, "Hi, Bob!" And then take a drink. Ha!
