People to See, Places to Go - 10/2

This week seems to be pretty low on the quality side of things, but there are still plenty of things to do in the area. Check back here every Monday for a look ahead of what is worth spending your time and money on.

October 4
Cartel @ the Webster Theater
I don't want to use the term "guilty pleasure" when describing why I enjoy this band, but it is pretty tempting. Either way, this is one of the best pop-punk outfits around these days and The Honorary Title is opening up.

Exposure @ Cinestudio
Local filmmaker Patrice Hamilton's new film is a "portrait of an American neighborhood where people struggle with the idea that life is movement." Cinestudio does a special, one-night only screening of the flick at 7:30 p.m.

October 5-13
Strange Culture @ Real Art Ways
I just finished watching the trailer of this movie and I have to say it looks worth a try. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 93 percent fresh rating, although it only has 14 total reviews. Either way, it looks like it is worth the six bucks, if only because there is really nothing else interesting out in mainstream theaters.

October 7
Gogol Bordello @ Toad’s Place
Ed has been talking about this band all week. He gave them a big ol' recommended "R" in the last couple issues of The Recorder, so they must be good right?
