Art Prostitute Release Party
Art Prostitute, a beautiful art magazine out of Denton, TX, was launched three years ago, and has won design awards left and right for their presentation of art by emerging artists.

PICA's Birthday Party
If you've got a fat bankroll in your pocket, you should definitely check out PICA's $150 Patron Dinner at 6 pm Saturday, hosted by the always-entertaining AC Dickson. But I'm guessing you don't have $300 for yourself and a date—that's OK! Because at 10 pm, PICA's throwing a party to celebrate their sixth birthday, with performances by Fleshtone, Copy, booze, and news about TBA:06. PICA @ AudioCinema, 226 SE Madison, 242-1419, Sat, 10 pm, $10-15 (includes two free drink tickets)
