• Lindsay Robertson, Alex Balk, and Jon Friedman host tonight's Ritalin Reading at Mo Pitkins, where no author will bore you for more than five minutes. A bunch of other people will be there, too, but that's as many names as we have attention for. (The jokes, they write themselves.) [RitalinReadings]
• Schizophrenic band Cordero brings its "diverse" indie rock/Latin-pop fusion to the hipster homogeneity of the Mercury Lounge. [Upcoming]
• Gardar Eide Einarsson presents Ship of Fools, a play written by Ted Kaczynski, our beloved Unabomber. Each ticket comes with a free pass to a Department of Homeland Security holding cell. [flavorpill]
