If you love movies -- not to mention beer -- the Great Lakes Film Festival has lined up something cool for Saturday. It'll host a kick-off cabaret at the Roadhouse Theatre.

Weirdo Theatre, Viotech, Final Rest, and Greg Ropp will all perform, while DJ Jake and DJ Bussiere will spin tunes. You can also exepct the Temple of Bast Tribal Fusion Bellydancers to belly up to the party, plus some magic and poetry, too.

Popping in for fun: pro wrestler Blue Meanie, who's starred in several Erie-based films by KillerWolf Productions.

Tickets are $5, which includes all the brew you can drink. The cabaret starts at 10 p.m.

Here's a shocker: Guns 'n Roses has postponed the March 6 release of "Chinese Democracy," the CD that has been rumored for, oh, about a decade now.

Tool has postponed its spring tour, due to Danny Carey's arm surgery. No word on when the tour will resume. Wish we could get an Erie date for Tool.

Matty B. and the Dirty Pickles beat out Beneath the Scars and Moving in Stereo on Wednesday at Sherlock's in the Battle of the Bands. The Pickles move on to the semifinals.
