The Stranger Suggests

Sounds Outside (MUSIC) Citizens, the end of summer is approaching and this is your last chance for live music in the great outdoors of Cal Anderson Park. If you've been to a previous Sounds Outside production, you know to expect the unexpected, like last month's naked bike parade. The final installment of Sounds Outside stars Seattle's out-jazz favorites: saxophonist Skerik (in his loose-grooving quartet McTuff) and keyboardist Wayne Horvitz (with his skronkadelic Trio KVH). (Cal Anderson Park, 1635 11th Ave, www.soundsoutside.com. 2—8 pm, free, all ages.) JONATHAN ZWICKEL

The U.S.O.S.O.S.O.U.S.O.B. Tour (CABARET) Created and hosted by the world's preeminent Latino Elvis impersonator (El Vez) and the world's preeminent Swedish housewife (the Swedish Housewife), this USO extravaganza promises "irreverent political repartee" in a burlesquey setting. Among the evening's stars: Princess Schmooquan, the Twinkie-regurgitating, rubber-chicken-wielding enchantress who stole so many hearts at last spring's Stranger Gong Show. (The Pink Door, 1919 Post Alley, 443-3241. 11 pm, $12, 21+.) DAVID SCHMADER
