Worth staying up past your bedtime: local garage-but-ethereal-rockers Tirra Lirra play tonight at the Empty Bottle (1035 North Western Avenue) at 9:30pm. Free!
Monday Night Dining @ Kendall College
This winter, students of Kendall College's Monday Night Dining Symposium will be interpreting Latin American cuisine for a weekly set five-course banquet.

The $38 fee per person covers food, non-alcoholic beverages, and tax, but not gratuity. BYOB with no corkage fee is also available. Reservations are required and can be made online or by calling (312) 752-2328.
MEET THE OSCARS Chicago @ The Shops at Northbridge
Practice the acceptance speech you know you've been writing since you were a kid at MEET THE OSCARS Chicago, an exhibition brought by Kodak to The Shops at Northbridge, 520 N. Michigan Ave. You can hold and have your photo taken with a real Oscar statuette, learn more about Chicago's own R.S. Owens & Company, which makes the statuettes, and check out Oscars previously awarded to Bette Davis, DuPont Film Manufacturing and Eastman Kodak. This event is free. 10am to 7pm on Level 1 in front of Nordstrom.
