THROW THEM STONES—Curling combines the precision of bowling, the ice of hockey, and the attire of reading a book. It is a sport of kings played by Canadians. At an open house led by the Evergreen Curling Club, you too can learn to wicky wacky woo before the next big bonspeil. JC

EVAN ALMIGHTY—It’s a shame about Evan. Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando has undergone a hit (anything from It’s a Shame About Ray) or miss (just about everything else) career, with plenty of gossip-filled breaks in between. His live shows are just as unpredictable; sometimes you get a confusing mess of mumbled songs, and other times you’ll be blessed with unforgettable material from the most charismatic voice in alt-rock. It’s worth the risk. EAC
