Art Happy Hour 3

Have you read our newest art bloggers, The Vicious Circle, yet? If not, you certainly should — after you read The Secrets, that is! VC editor, art critic Michael Fallon has his fingers in plenty of interesting pies, including Art Happy Hour,
which this month just so happens to land at one of my favorite
neighborhood bars (as you well know) — Clubhouse Jager. Chat with like-minded artsy types
and sip sumptuous cocktails prepared by "Friendly Freddie," Jager’s
staple happy hour bartender, and meet the writers of the Vicious
Circle. I promise, their bark is worse than their bite!

4-8pm, Clubhouse Jager, 923 Washington Ave. N, Minneapolis, Free

FASHION
Cliché 4th Annual Runway Show

For
years, a tiny boutique on Lyndale Avenue has been THE place to snap up
fresh styles by local and independent fashion designers. Run by Josh and Delayna Sundberg, an incredibly chic and clever pair who are major supporters of the Twin Cities fashion and art scene, Cliché
is your one-stop-shop to instantaneous style-maven status. For the
fourth year in a row, Cliché puts on a larger-than-life fashion show,
featuring clothing from local designers who sell exclusively at the
shop. Such notables as Anthem Heart and Red Shoe Clothing Company
join in the fun, along with many, many more. So, if you’re looking for
that perfect somethin’-somethin’, or to update your look, the Cliché
Fashion Show is your obvious destination.

9pm, Lake Street Social Center at Plaza Verde, 1516 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, $5


MUSIC
Patio Nights Opening

For
those of you who were deprived last summer of this ultimately glorious
outdoor experience, I am happy to announce that tonight kicks off yet
another season of Patio Nights.
Relax on the Minnesota Museum of American Art’s fantastic patio,
overlooking the mighty Mississip, while enjoying some of the best live
music in the Twin Cities. An abundance of food, drink, and even vintage vinyl will be up for grab, and tonight’s musical guests, Awesome Snakes, are the perfectly peppy punk rockers to reintroduce this popular weekly concert series.

7pm, MMAA, 50 West Kellogg Blvd, Downtown St. Paul, $5


FILM
Mondo Bondo

Due to intense demand, Fearless Filmmakers brings you a kink-tastic repeat performance of Mondo Bondo, a sellout hit during the Minneapolis/St.Paul International Film Festival. Director Tony Cane-Honeysett’s
engaging documentary, focusing on sexual taboos and underground
culture, is sure to entertain pervs of every persuasion. As Honeycutt
says, "I cannot imagine needing a custard pie in the face
to have an orgasm, but someone out there does. Everyone has a kink." So stop blushing and snap up your tix before this flick sells out. With
your ticket stub you’ll also gain admittance to the super secret after
party that will feature live bondage exhibits, naughty gift bags, and
more than enough booze to loosen you up.

8pm, St. Anthony Main Theater, 115 Main Street NE, Minneapolis, $9
