The countdown for fall semester is winding down. It's one month until lounging by the pool is replaced with sitting in a classroom and staying up late studying. Until it's time to face the music, spend time listening to it. There are plenty of activities and concerts to squeeze in some last minute summer fun before the first whistle blows.
LAWRENCE
If you think singing along to Disney movies is supercalifraglisticexpialidotious, Lawrence Public Library is your hot spot. As part of their Sing Along Film Series the library will show "Mary Poppins" at 7 p.m. Friday. To sing about the end of your Summer Nights, go to the library at 7 p.m. Aug. 1 to watch "Grease."
Instead of singing at the library, you can hear other people sing about books at the Granada. At 7 p.m. July 29, Harry & the Poters will croon about Hermione and Wedwig.
If you'd rather sing along to the pop side of country music, check out The Bottleneck at 7 p.m. Friday to hear Sarah Buxton sing about "That Kind of Day."
As part of the Classic Film noir Downtown Lawrence Film Festival, "The Maltese Falcon" will show at 9:15 p.m. Aug. 7. There will be live music at 8 p.m. before the classic
black and white film is shown on the lawn north of the downtown parking garage at Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

Kansas city offers a vast array of venues for checking out live music. Lucky for us, it's just a quick trip up I-70 for great entertainment. Head to Beaumont Club on July 28 to see if '90s rock band, Fastball, is still out of their heads, or maybe out of their minds? On July 30, head to City Market to see if Gnarls Barkley is as crazy as he proclaims. To hear if Boys II Men has hit the end of their road, go to Ameristar Casino Kansas City on Aug. 16. Amos Lee will "Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight" at 8 p.m. Aug. 13 at Uptown Theatre.
