Wondering what Wednesday brings? Jazz, karaoke, and... Aliens?

Here we are, toward the end of January, with practically no snow to speak of; but, if all indications are correct, we will have some winter weather blowing in by day’s end. Warm up with some hot jazz at Living the Good Life. It’s always a party when the boys of J and M Productions host karaoke night at Caterpillar’s Hookah Lounge. Dayton kids can take advantage of the Homework and Craft Workshop each Wednesday at the Dayton Valley Branch Library, courtesy of the Healthy Communities Coalition. Watch out for Aliens. ‘They mostly come out at night... mostly’ but today the 1986 classic can be found at Galaxy Theater at 2 p.m. and at 7 p.m.
