Do you ever start a sentence not even knowing where it's going, hoping you find it along the way? That conundrum can be much like finding the answer to trivia questions on the spot. Be afraid of how much you'll love The Office Trivia Night at Tractor Brewing West Side. On Tuesday, May 14, get there as ASAP as possible or around 7pm. If you're thinking about doing it, ask yourself “Would an idiot do that?” Regardless, do that thing. Remember all the Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute and Jim Halpert one-liners and be a little 'stitious that perhaps you've got enough useless “The Office” knowledge to win the evening. This event is for bears, beets, “Battlestar Galactica” and patrons 21 and over. Slide right in for free. And in the immortal words of Michael Scott, “That's what she said.” (Mayo Lua de Frenchie)

If you had stopped by the office at Weekly Alibi HQ about 15 years ago, you might have noticed that Seattle radio station KEXP-FM was playing. And I was probably entranced, waiting for the next time the station deigned to play a song by a band they kept strongly implying would be the next big thing. For Rilo Kiley, that moment never quite came, but the ensemble proved fertile ground for future sounds. As singer, songwriter and guitarist for the outfit, Jenny Lewis grew substantially as an artist during those halcyon days, and has released a slew of hot vinyl on her own, including this year's On The Line, which features cool weirdos like Don Was and Jim Keltner. Anyway, she'll be jamming out all indie style at KiMo Theatre on Tuesday, May 14, from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. Tickets for this all-ages concert range in price from $27 to $39. (August March)
