1, Basketball 101 with the L.A. Lakers is an officially-sanctioned NBA event teaching participants the game's fundamentals, like how to shoot free throws, execute a pick and roll, or use the buddy system when visiting a player's hotel room. Insert your own joke about "court strategies" here. (Tonight at Staples Center.)
2. AFI's aptly-named AFI Fest 2004 film festival opens tonight with Kevin Spacey's Bobby Darin biopic Beyond the Sea at the ArcLight—which we haven't yet seen but assume contains more than just this still image of Spacey suggestively posing with a microphone. But even this one picture's got Oscar nom written all over it!
3. Tonight quickie concert round-up: A little bit country: Kasey Chambers at the El Rey; A little bit rock n' roll: The Fever and VHS/Beta at the Echo; A little bit Ted Leo spinning some tunes among manicures and hairdryers: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists DJ at Beauty Bar.
4. As if you didn't already know from the endless promotion (Gail Berman, please PayPal five thousand dollars to tips@defamer.com), Seth Cohen will finally return to the little box in your living room, at least for tonight. Tomorrow, you can go back to seeing him at your favorite music venue or the guest bathroom in your home.
