EXPERIENCE
BOB DYLAN
So he mumbles, is old and isn't much of a looker. But we're probably the last generation that will get to see this rock legend live. See him Monday or Tuesday night at Kansas City's Midland Theatre. He profoundly influenced the Beatles, wrote some of the greatest American poetry and made an appearance in a Victoria's Secret commercial — what more could you ask for in an American legend? Call Midland at (816) 471-9703.

BUYTHANK YOU FORSMOKING
It's just about time for an uber-cool looking, delightfully indie but kind of mainstream, genuinely funny comedy. Thank You For Smoking follows tobacco industry lobbyist Nick Taylor (Aaron Eckhart) as he spins away the dangers of cigarettes to millions of people every day, all under the watchful eye of his 12-year-old son. The film also stars Maria Bello, William H. Macy, Katie Holmes, Robert Duvall and Adam Brody.

RENT $\rightarrow$ BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
In case you are one of the last people on the planet who hasn't seen the surprise Best Picture loser, it is worth a rent. Extras are as spare as the Montana plain but who doesn't want to listen to Jake Gyllenhall and Heath Iadner talk about how
they just sucked it up and went for their roles?

COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK Screwdriver
The Screwdriver is a classic mix of 2 ounces of vodka and 5 ounces of orange juice, topped off with an orange slice. This simple drink usually is served over ice. According to Stuart Walton, author of The Ultimate Book of Cocktails, the Screwdriver got its name from an American oil-rig worker who used an actual screwdriver to stir his drinks in the 1950s.

Popcorn isn't just for the movies — the salty, buttery taste of microwave popcorn is the perfect snack for any drunken night. After consuming empty calories from various alcoholic drinks, popcorn is a healthy and quick alternative to late-night fast food stops. According to The Nutrition Bible, one cup of air-popped unbuttered popcorn has 31 calories, no fat and 1 gram of fiber. Even drizzled lightly with butter, it's only 90 to 120 calories per cup.
