"You—in the pajamas—put down the Justin Bieber pictures and pick up a pen.” Perhaps more applicable to Albuquerque would be “Shia LaBeouf pictures,” but that's neither here nor there. Nevertheless, get ready to take some notes on comedian extraordinaire Ian Harris this Thursday, March 9, at Skylight Santa Fe and this Saturday, March 11, at the Guild Cinema. You may have seen Harris perform some pretty hilariously precise impressions on Jimmy Kimmel Live! or maybe his atheism-based comedy on Comedy Central or heard his voice on Fuse's “Mad Genius,” but you don't want to miss him Thursday at 8pm in Santa Fe, and 10:30pm in Albuquerque while he's here on his ExtraOrdinary tour. You can also meet the comedian at Kelly's Brew Pub Friday and Saturday before the show at 8pm. (Megan Reneau)

Shutterbugs gather up your best pieces and pick some to submit for hanging in the new Bernalillo County headquarters when the gov-peeps move to Alvarado Square, happening now until Monday, August 31. The selected photographs will be printed in a large scale and format. They will be used to create a welcoming environment for county customers, county employees and the general public. Some will be used on the windows of the new Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office suite. The photographs should represent the history and character of Bernalillo County and its people, places, landscapes and unique events in our county. There are some big bucks involved as chosen photographers will receive $1,500, with a limit of one photograph per artist. The chosen photos will become part of the public art program’s permanent collection. There is no fee or age limit required to submit. For more information, visit bernco.gov/community-services/current-call-for-entries.aspx. Ends August 31. (Carolyn Carlson)
