An Evening With B. Dylan Hollis
Pandemic quarantine boredom and supply shortages led to many of us experimenting more in the kitchen, and in one case it worked out extremely well! B. Dylan Hollis is the guy you’ve probably spotted on Instagram Reels gamely but dubiously taking a stab at absurd Depression-era recipes like Hoover Stew with hot dogs and canned goods or Ration Cake, starring lard, boiled raisins, and molasses. For Hollis’ follow-up to 2023 bestselling cookbook Baking Yesteryear, the social media chef took a cross-country tour of vintage recipes, resulting in the 100 collected in Baking Across America. Retro recipes from the 1900s to the 2000s cover something from every state in the union, and rumor has it that Texas sheet cake reps the Lone Star State. Get your book signed and take in an enlightening conversation with Hollis, Alex Rigby, and Mackenzie Smith. – Kat McNevinsMon., June 2 -

Saving Face (2005)
I’m a sucker for intergenerational stories, particularly if they’re about parents and kids dealing with romance. There’s a real fun chaos to the idea: parents having to commiserate with their kid over dating troubles, forcing a new equality of situation into a historically uneven power dynamic. In director Alice Wu’s debut feature, protag Wil (Michelle Krusiec, Duplex) must take in her pregnant mother (Joan Chen, Twin Peaks), whose unwed status has her on the outs with her father. While Wil’s in the closet with her mom, she becomes enamored with her boss’ daughter (Lynn Chen, a five-episode recurring doctor on Grey’s Anatomy), who butts heads with her own father over choosing modern dance over ballet. Social expectations get broken; love comes from unexpected places; and hearts do change, even if it takes a little while. – James ScottJune 2 & 4

Adventurers in parties big and small (six people being the comfortable limit) are invited to join in this newest quest at LARP legend the Tiny Minotaur. At $45 per person, the quest runs about 90 minutes with complimentary snacks and a bevvie included for all the 21-and-above aged participants. From the Minotaur themselves: “It appears the Holy Circlet has sent an ill-experienced Cleric to the Rift to investigate and they are seeking the help of some Adventurers at the Tiny Minotaur! Will you and your party be able to help your new Cleric companion return to the Holy Circlet as a Hero or will you all perish on a mission ill-fated from the start?!” – James ScottMondays, Sundays and Mon., Nov. 25
