Friday
 · Strictly for the nerds (i.e., us): Ever seen a cockroach drive a robot? OK, maybe you have, but what about a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach? Hmmm? Didn't think so.
· Wilco rocks the Wiltern. Or rather, Wilco plays with rock/country/folk conventions to make some kind of point about alienation. That isn't as fun to say, but it's still kind of great. Good luck finding tickets.
Saturday
 · The Futureheads are at the Troubadour. We've never heard any of their songs (see above re: we're nerds), but we hear the cool kids are totally into them.
· Se habla sassy? If so, the Sassy City Chicks sample sale can be found at the Area 101 Art Gallery.
Sunday
 · Cinespace hosts the cult Ed Wood classic Plan 9 from Outerspace so scifi kitsch lovers can overdub the dialogue, a la MST3K. (Nerds again.) After-party to follow.
· Metallica: Some Kind of Monster documentarian Joe Berlinger signs Metallica: This Monster Lives at Book Soup. We're sure a discussion about whether or not Kirk Hammett's 80's hairstyle was a sly homage to Cher's curls is inevitable.
