The Cult of Perfection
Is your life ruled by a “to do” list of goals? When you get an idea, do you act upon it immediately, not resting until you have achieved a result?

But don’t worry—Cooper Lawrence is here to help. Join the acclaimed psychology expert and media personality tonight as she discusses her new book and gives you the necessary tools to make peace with your inner overachiever.

MUSIC
Bob Mould
"When Bob Mould visits First Avenue, the paint on the walls heats up and starts to become liquid again. Stalactites of tobacco exhalations loosen their grip and drop from the ceiling. And the eardrums of people in the audience begin to ring in a way that will never completely go away, but it won’t hurt until they file out into the street, so they stay put, rapt in the presence of this former local boy and one of punk rock’s living legends." Tonight, he hits his old stomping grounds with a resplendent new disc, District Line, that mixes an occasional electronic dance tune with the molten pop-rock.
8 p.m., First Avenue, 701 First Avenue North, Minneapolis; 612-338-8388; $15.
