LET IT SNO

Has shoveling, salting and
scraping sucked every last
morsel of joy from your winter?
Come see how cool snow can
be as the world's best snowmo-
bile athletes wow fans at the
Silverdome. (We're glad to see
the old gal getting some use,
too.) The AMSOIL Championship
Snocross Series features high-
speed motocross-style racing
and freestyle aerial action by the
world's best snocross competi-
tors, many of them just back from January's ESPN Winter X Games. Wild winter fun, minus
the snow down your pants! Saturday, Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. $10-$35. Pontiac Silverdome.

BECOME A BONA FIDE FILM CONNOISSEUR

Conceived to complement the contemporary films being shown at the Detroit Insti-
tute of Arts' Detroit Film Theatre, the new series"DFT 101" presents celluloid must-sees
that, in DFT curator Elliot Wilhelm's words, are the "basic building blocks of the evolution
of motion pictures." And, far be it for us to argue with the host of Detroit Public Televi-
sion's Friday Night Film Festival, where you can see classic films in their uncut, uninter-
rupted glory. This month at the DFT, see sexy Jewish screen god Kirk Douglas' uncanny
portrayal of Vincent van Gogh in director Vincent Minelli's 1956 classic Lust for Life
(based on the novel by Irving Stone). Screening time is Saturday, Feb. 19, at 4 p.m. 5200
Woodward Ave., Detroit. Free to DIA members; $5/nonmembers. (313) 833-4005; dia.org

BUST A GUT

Larry King and Jules Feiffer love Lewis Black; and the late George Carlin's stamp of ap-
proval, alone, is better than anything we could tell you. Irritable as Black can be, you will
become a believer, too, after seeing him perform his passionate and compelling comedy
at Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater during his aptly-named "In God We Rust"tour. He takes
the stage Saturday, Feb. 19, at 8 p.m. $37-$57.
603 East Liberty St., Ann Arbor. (734) 668-TIME; michtheater.org .

TO LIFE! OLE!

You may know Lin-Manuel Miranda from his spectacular"Wedding Surprise"to his
bride, Vanessa (check him out serenading his new wife with "L'Chaim" on YouTube, if you
haven't already seen it). If so ... well, you are plugged in. In addition to being an oh-so-
suave romantic, this Renaissance man of Puerto Rican descent conceived and scored the
Tony Award-winning In the Heights.
While the musical (co-produced by former Oak Parker Jeffrey Seller) tells the story of
close-knit, hard-working Latino immigrants, the comparisons to Fiddler On the Roof are
intrinsic: "Fiddler is in the DNA of Heights,"says Miranda. "Look at our opening number, it's
"Tradition" with hip-hop:I/n the Heights runs through Feb. 13 at the Fisher Theatre. 3011
W. Grand Blvd., Detroit. $34-$84. (800) 982-2787; broadwayindetroit.com .

WHO SAID BURLESQUE IS DEAD?

Before there was Christina Aguilera, we had real burlesque. So, naturally, Detroit is
home to one of the country's best-known troupes, the Detroit Dizzy Dames. Voted
the Best Burlesque Show in 2010 by Real Detroit, these 13 performers will titillate your
sensual demands in a comparably PG way. From singing, choreographed dance, fetish,
fire and parody, these gals got it going on. For $10 each, take your Valentine to catch the
action on Monday, Feb. 14, at 9 p.m.
Cliff Bell's, 2030 Park Ave., Detroit. (313) 961-2543; cliffbells.com .

GET PISSED FROM PAGE 6

Mr. Right was very polite, but then, he
always was the gentleman even when he
dumped me (that's another story). Any-
way, that's about all I could handle before
that urge-to-vomit sensation resurfaced.
I excused myself and moved outside to
the deck, where most of my friends had
gathered.
I found a seat and noticed there were
two empty chairs directly across from me.
Before I could mutter,"Please, no," under
my breath, the chairs were taken by Mr.
Right and his lovely date.
It's hard to describe the level of my
discomfort as I watched them chat, but I
imagine it being similar to staying upright
after a blow to the head with a
crowbar. Despite all that, I managed to
plaster a "class act" smile on my face.
[Then] something dripped on me. Was I
sweating that much? Something dripped

on my head. Could the upstairs neighbor
be so rude as to water his deck plants dur-
ing this party? When the dribble became
more of a current, I glanced up to see a
shadow between the upper deck boards
and heard the clicking steps of ... a dog.
The upstairs neighbor, too lazy to take
it for a walk, had let his dog on the deck
to relieve itself. I was so traumatized that
I have absolutely no memory of how I
responded or what followed.
Really.
No. Memory. At. All.
I understand that my friends helped
me wash up, and Mr. Right left to find a
better place to enjoy his date.
In hindsight, although he denies it, I
believe the event triggered something for
Mr. Right; I must have been the "class act"
he couldn't resist.
He proposed within a year.
