WHAT’S
happening
DAN PIMENTAL
It’s not all music, music, music this week. How
about a fine evening with the Perpetual Motion
Roadshow? Christa Donner will dispense free
advice, wanted or not, there’s rap from hip hop
artist More or Les (left) and even Angry Flower
cartoonist Stephen Notley, all under one roof –
that roof being the one over The Museum of
Unfine Art. See Tuesday calendar.
There are more ways to bring in the New Year
than you can shake a noisemaker at, from
chanting to dancing to good old rock and roll.
For pure spectacle, you can’t beat taking in a
performance of D ie F l e d er m au s (above), followed
by a rousing New Year’s Eve Celebration at the
Hult Center. For this and many others wild
goings-on, see Friday calendar.
Welcome to The World of the Future! It’s
2005, and to kick things off, Mayor-
Elect Kitty Piercy (left) is going to tell
us what the State of the City looks like.
Let’s hope for good news. See Monday
calendar.

What a stellar night! The Last Night
Celebration at Cozmic Pizza piles on the
ethnic bands, from Ala Nar to Macaco
Velho during New Year’s Eve. But wait!
There she is, in all her glory! The one,
the only, Scarlett O’Slimera, Eugene’s
Slug Queen! See Friday calendar.
This week also features movies galore
at a number of different venues, from
Russian Ark at the Yamada Language
Center (Tuesday) to Plan 9 From Outer
Space at Diva (Sunday). Need to work
off all that holiday food? Try an Altair
hike or GEARS bike ride. For a leisurely
stroll, take in the Last Friday Artwalk
in the West Eugene and Whiteaker
neighborhoods. So this is The Future,
but where are our flying cars?
