MARIO KART—Some would say games like Call of Duty and Halo indoctrinate children into a warlike mindset. Maybe that’s true (probably not). But nothing has consistently whipped as many people into murderous, rage-filled frenzies as that fucking blue shell, introduced in Mario Kart 64. Ground Kontrol, Hollywood Theatre, and the Ace are hosting a tournament today. There will be blood. And also pizza. BOBBY ROBERTS

COMEDY—Brian Posehn loves it here. And as a comedy-lovin’ city, we love him back. We can all agree on topics like listening to metal, getting stoned, and nerding out. The funny-ass comedian—who you’ve enjoyed on Mr. Show, W/ Bob and David, and The Sarah Silverman Program—is doing a run of shows over three nights, and will no doubt be killing it. COURTNEY FERGUSON
