Nerd Out in More Ways Than One
compfight.comDo your interests have a weird cross section like manga and Shakespeare? Mine too. This Saturday, you can indulge in the marriage of your very particular passions at the New Mexico Museum of Art's St. Francis Auditorium in Santa Fe. In conjunction with the visit of Shakespeare's First Folio to the museum and the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death, facilitators will lead a workshop helping participants create their own graphic version of Hamlet's famous “To Be or Not to Be” soliloquy. This event is totally free and open to the public; get thee to the New Mexico Museum of Art at 1pm. (Maggie Grimason)

basementfilms.orgLocal arts organization Basement Films—one of the few remaining first-generation micro-cinemas in existence—will crack open its vaults for The Analogue Spectacular. Audiences are in for an evening of "wild and wooly media." There's no telling what sort of strange, old 16mm and 35mm film the Basement folks will be dredging up. Weird documentaries? Antique educational films? You'll just have to show up and find out. Tickets are $5 at the SWFC box office. (Devin D. O'Leary)
