GRAVEYARD PICNIC—Metro crams a bewildering potpourri of activities into Southeast Portland's Lone Fir Cemetery for its Picnic with the Departed event.

SCIENCE!—When's the last time you heard tales live from the lips of an actual space wrangler, a genuine NASA astronaut who's spent the equivalent of more than a year in space? That's what I thought. NEVER. Don Pettit just finished a tour aboard the International Space Station, and now he'll be at OMSI's Science Pub. DCT
Bagdad Theater, 3702 SE Hawthorne, 7 pm, $5

BEDKNOBBIN'—Before she was a singing teapot, before she was solving murders for the warm-milk and Metamucil set as Jessica Fletcher, Angela Lansbury was a saucy witch in Bedknobs and Broomsticks, a 1971 Disney classic that (if I may indulge in some cinematic blasphemy) is in every way better than Mary Poppins. BR
Academy Theater, 7818 SE Stark, see Film Times, $3-4

TUESDAY, JULY 2

MUSIC—Get wrecked with Drunk Dad, whose filthy, brawling rock is enough to induce a concussion. And don't miss the mighty Big Black Cloud, whose great new album Black Friday is a thick, noisy cudgel of punk rock. You'll be feeling this one the next morning. NL
w/Prizehog; The Know, 2026 NE Alberta, 8 pm

MUSIC—Nick Jaina put out an album in April, Primary Perception, built on the notion of spontaneity. But there's always been something lush and intentional about Jaina's work, all smoky and smooth. So don't miss another chance to see him. DCT
