Music

Film School

California's Film School play gorgeous and dreamy shoegaze songs that are so perfectly dynamic and cinematic, all you have to do is close your eyes and let your mind take you anywhere you want to go. The music will carry you, weightless through the atmosphere, past the moon and planets. It'll float you down the river, gently, while you drift beneath the stars. Film School tap into the desires of the subconscious as well as any drug, without the dangerous side effects. (Sunset Tavern, 5433 Ballard Ave, 784-4880. 10 pm, $10, 21+.)

Film

'Frogs'

The Features from the Black Lagoon series—which brings hilarious B movies to an inflatable screen in Cal Anderson Park—continues with an old-fashioned crappy horror flick. The 1972 film Frogs features a dysfunctional family on an ill-fated camping trip, extended stretches of menacing ribbits, and a young Sam Elliott in the tightest jeans ever worn by man. Added bonus: The culminating plague of murderous amphibians is campy enough for queers and goofy enough to not freak out the kids. (Cal Anderson Park, 1635 11th Ave. Screening starts at dusk—9 pm or so, free.)

    I would prefer Sam Elliot in NO jeans, but I'll take what I can get...
