Hey guys! It’s April. there’s two weeks left to do taxes, four weeks left of the university semester, and there’s lots to do today to start the month off right.

The Mammal Gallery needs another 10k for their Kickstarter, and they only have another four days to get it, so call all your rich friends and get them to help this place out! $5,000 gets you lifetime free admission and drinks, and for $10k all three owners will get your face tattooed on them! There’s also a host of more reasonably priced offers, the $25 Backers Only private event will feature a “nationally known headliner.”

A last-minute addition to the list, King of Pops is giving away free pops at all locations today, in partnership with MailChimp (they handle the email list for me!), as a celebration of their 4th birthday!

At 3pm The Plaza Atlanta (1049 Ponce) is showing The Dinner Project as part of the Atlanta Film Festival, “The Dinner Project is a series of filmed conversations featuring well-known Casting Directors. Over dinner professional Atlanta actors ask the CDs timely questions, gathered from your acting peers and relevant to the entertainment industry in the Southeast.” Check the Facebook page for more information, the event is free.

Java Vino (579 North Highland Ave NE) hosts the Vicious Circle Writer’s Group tonight at 7pm. Bring in any piece of writing under 2k words to share and critique with fellow writers.

Doctor Neil deGrasse Tyson will be at the Student Center Progams Council (350 Ferst Drive NW) at 7pm tonight talking about the future of science. Tickets are $7 for GaTech students, or $19 for guests, but if you’re a guest you’ll need a Tech student to buy you a guest ticket.

Diesel Filling Station (870 North Highland Ave NE) has Nerd-Core Trivia: Game of Thrones edition tonight at 8pm. They’re also tapping the Ommegang: Game of Thrones beer too!

Comedy Throwdown at The Hangar (151 Sampson St) tonight, three stand-ups will perform five-minute sets (including Jake Head, who is always hilarious at Star Bar comedy nights), and then improv troupes from Village Theatre, Dad’s Garage, and Automatic Improv will take their ideas and perform improv sets based on them. $5 cover, doors at 8:30pm.

Good news guys! Firefly is coming back as a Netflix-exclusive!

The Mammal Gallery has Mammal’s Only Open Mic tonight. All acts are welcome, and there’s a “super secret super special guest” showing up too. Doors & signups at 8, performances start at 9. No cover!

Sadly not an April fool’s joke, but tonight at 10pm The Quad (714 Spring st) re-opens its doors for Tuesdays@Quad:Pulse, if you haven’t quite had your fill of underage girls and low quality drugs, get down there and partake in both, I suppose. Personally I’d rather have had the Arby’s next door back… Go to Funk Royale Tuesdays at Star Bar instead.

Head’s up: Television of Marquee Moon fame are at the Variety Playhouse tomorrow evening! Tickets probably will sell out, if they haven’t already.

A handful of shows tonight (image):

Band Venue Details Comments Cute Boots 529 9pm, no cover A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. DEAN WAREHAM The Earl 9pm, $20 It’s the guy from Galaxie 500! Indie pop, non-smoking show. Tesseract Drunken Unicorn 8:30pm, sold out Prog-rock/metal stuff with vox that sound like they came from an Evanescance album. Before You Exit Masquerade (Hell) 6pm, $15 shite-core. Scott Draffin Quartet Churchill Grounds $10, 9pm & 11pm Churchill grounds is a cool jazz café next door to the Fox and they just repaired a window that somebody smashed, so stop by and pretend you’re way classier than you actually are for a little bit and hear some jazz.

There’s also the regular Tuesday stuff, plus all the ongoing events! Upcoming concerts will be posted later today (for real this time!).

If you’d like to send something nice my way as a thank-you note, how about signing up for Lyft with this link or if you’re already a Lyft user, sign up for Uber with this one! Your first ride will be free, and I’ll get some credits too so I can afford to keep going out to stuff! Thanks!!

I’d like to go to Cute Boots, or maybe the Mammal’s Only Open Mic, but if tonight is anything like last night I’ll be working all day, super exhausted, and then fall asleep at 10pm, so you guys get out there and have some fun I can experience vicariously.
