To Do: Interpol, Slamdance, Culture
· The nattily dressed young men of Interpol play the Grand Olympic Auditorium tonight with Blonde Redhead, no indie slouches themselves. Or if you like getting something for nothing, you can see Interpol's Carlos D DJ the after-party at the Beauty Bar.
· If you're anything like us, you're still bitter that you couldn't talk your way into the Slamdance opening night party and had to pay $30 for drink tickets redeemable for three lukewarm cans of Tecate. But tonight's a chance to overcome that bitterness, as the Slamdance festival winners screen at the Egyptian.
· For the two of you out there who'd prefer to absorb some culture (god forbid) rather than watch movies or try to catch an STD from a band, poet, writer, activist, and NAACP Image award winner Nikki Giovanni will deliver the goods at UCLA's Royce Hall.
