As always, it's mostly video games this week with E3 in town, so check the guide for anything related to that. It's good if you want to party or drink or play games and also drink.
We really wonder how much more alcohol is consumed with so many game companies in town and the prostitution rate. We assume both go up.

America’s favorite agitprop pranksters are back, this time to take on
Global Warming with their arsenal of bogus press conferences and assumed
identities. Part Bond/part Borat, Mike (the straight one) and Andy (the
gay one) boomerang the globe – storming the UN with Survivaballs™
(giant inflatable condoms that protect you from atomic radiation and
terrorist attack alike), plotting with Ugandan activists to demand
“carbon debt reparations” at a Copenhagen climate summit, introducing
Shell’s new Arctic Drilling slogan in Seattle (“We’re Pumped!”),
shanghai-ing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce or the Homeland Security
Conference, or delivering a fake polar bear to the Amsterdam Zoo,

Free, Must RSVP
Followed by a Q&A with Director Jason Banker via Skype.
Synopsis: Amy is an artist hanging on by a thread. Trying to
overcome a recent trauma while coping with the subtle aggressions she
experiences daily from the men around her, Amy’s art turns toward the creation
of grotesquely costumed alter egos that re-appropriate the male form. While
giving her the sense of power and domination she craves, acting as these
characters pushes her further from her friends and into her own world. When she
meets Kenny, a seemingly nice guy that wants to understand her, she opens
herself up to him - but that vulnerability comes at a dangerous cost.
