Happy Daylight Savings Time! Here’s some stuff to do with all this extra sunlight, instead of just waiting another hour until it’s dark and you can finally start drinking.
| Monday, March 10 – Stage & Screen |
Coolidge Corner Theatre’s film series pairs “Juan of the Dead” (about zombies overrunning Havana) and a discussion with the writer and director of Huntington Theatre Company’s “Becoming Cuba” (also about the country of Cuba, not Cuba Gooding’s one-man show about his childhood, because that would be titled “Growin’ Up Cuba”). (7 p.m., $8-10, all ages)
| Monday, March 10 – Mass BikePike Kickoff |
The Asgard’s kickoff party for the 2014 Mass BikePike tour features free appetizers, and you don’t even need to ride a bike anywhere yet if you don’t want to. (5:30 p.m., FREE, all ages)
| Tuesday, March 11 – NT Live: “War Horse” |
These live broadcasts from Britain’s National Theatre have been selling out way in advance, but there are still tickets available for the show about World War I’s most kick-ass horse. Or instead of going, just imagine someone with a Boston accent saying “War Horse” and laugh quietly to yourself. (7 p.m., $20, all ages)
| Tuesday, March 11 – Amy Chua |
The “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” author stops by Harvard Book Store to discuss her new book about the three traits that determine success for cultural groups in America: a superiority complex, insecurity, and impulse control. The lack of impulse control always gets me. I’d probably be a senator by now if I didn’t always need to have one more beer. (7 p.m., FREE, all ages)
| Wednesday, March 12 – Practice Opening Reception |
The Nave Gallery’s ”Practice” exhibition showcases highly skilled, process-oriented and conceptual works that require a high degree of proficiency and commitment. I could probably make some pretty cool art if I tried. I’m just going to have one more beer first. (6 p.m., FREE, all ages)
| Wednesday, March 12 – Spring Craftacular |
The craft beer tasting at the Bella Luna in JP features eight local breweries pouring samples. There’s also a gourmet pizza buffet, because you obviously have high standards for drunk pizza and definitely never destroyed a whole pizza by yourself at Hi-Fi in Central Square at 2 a.m. (7 p.m., $20, 21+)
| Wednesday, March 12 – Welcome Wednesdays |
Mingle with new and longtime neighbors at District Hall on the waterfront. The monthly event features free food and a live mural painting by Artists for Humanity. (5 p.m., FREE, all ages)
| Thursday, March 13 – Literary Jeopardy |
Flex your literary know-how and enjoy free wine and beer at this benefit for 826 Boston at Porter Square Books. You always win at apartment Jeopardy. I mean, most of the time. Definitely when your one roommate has to work late. Either way you’re in the top three for sure. (7 p.m., $10 suggested donation, all ages)
