REALLY CHILI
An Epic Chili-Off at Church
You’re an authority on chili. And your expertise on the subject will come in handy on Saturday, when chili
barons from Citizen, Jerry Remy’s, Fenway Park and Sweet Cheeks will be offering their best versions, with
you sampling all you can and deeming one champion. You’ve been training for this.

JAZZY
1940s-Style Live Jazz. In a Museum.
If there’s one thing you’ve always said museums lack, it’s live music. So if you’re in the
historical mood on Saturday, know that there’s a seven-piece band playing ’40s-style jazz at the West
End Museum. Next up: live funk at the doctor’s office.

Burlesque. Pretend Lions. Booze. Go.
If it’s been a few weeks since your last burlesque show, head to the Oberon this Sunday for an immersive

PROM NIGHT
Relishing in Prom-ness Downtown
Good/bad news: the ladies of LUPEC are giving you a chance to relive prom. Think: awkward prom photos,

charity. Yes, your light-blue prom tux counts.

WYLD STALLYNS
Understanding Time Travel. And Keanu.
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. By all accounts, a masterpiece. And this Monday, you can
hear an MIT professor and theoretical physicist give a lecture about it—and time travel—after screening
the film at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. It’s time to see how phone booth wormholes stack up to science.
