GET TO IT
A guide to help make your day
Going out
• After-work freebie: Head to Sawyer Point today for the Q102/Bud Party at Sawyer Point, 5:30-9 p.m. Music by Soul Pocket in P&G Pavilion. 763-5686.
• Double dose: Of singer-songwriters, that is. John Wesley Harding and Ellis Paul share the bill at Top Cat's in Corryville 9 p.m. $12. 281-2005.
Staying in
• Critic's picks: Morley Safer once said, “A crook doesn't think he's made it as a crook until he's been on 60 Minutes.” CBS replays some of the best of the worst scam artists on 60 Minutes Classics: The Con Men (8 p.m. today, Channels 12, 7). And TV Critic John Kiesewetter will be watching Chicago Hope to see Mandy Patinkin return and fire half the hospital staff (10 p.m., Channels 12, 7), setting up big changes for fall.
• Big talk: Chat with WWF wrestler Triple H about his match with The Rock on AOL Live, 8 p.m. today. For little tamer fare on MSN, discuss tips with Jon D. Markman, MSN MoneyCentral's managing editor, also 8 p.m.
What's in stores today
• Millenium (Jive; $17.99 CD, $11.99 cassette) is the second full-length CD by the Backstreet Boys, just in time to cash in on junior high school peer pressure before the distractions of summer vacation, says pop music critic Larry Nager. The first single, “I Want It That Way,” is already all over Top 40 radio.
• Jimmy Buffett's Beach House on the Moon (Margaritaville/Island; $17.99 CD; $11.99 cassette) is the latest message in a tequila bottle from the Tristate's favorite beachcomber, coming to Riverbend Aug. 19 and 21 (the latter date is sold out).
• Tarzan (Walt Disney Records; $17.99 CD; $10.99 cassette) is the soundtrack CD for the summer's animated feature from the Mouse. Phil Collins is the veteran British rock star handling musical chores this time out and the African-influenced results sound a bit like his old Genesis mate Peter Gabriel.,
• The week's big rap release comes straight out of the hot Memphis hip-hop scene, with platinum rappers Eightball & M.J.G.'s latest, In Our Lifetime Vol. 1 (Suave House/Universal; $17.99 CD; $10.99 cassette).
Planning ahead
• A day away: Country duo (and twin sisters) The Kinleys performs at Coyote's in Fort Mitchell Thursday. Doors open 7 p.m. $8-$10. 341-5150.
• 72 hours 'til Saturday: Hear classic Winnie-the-Pooh stories as ArtReach IV Theatre performs The House at Pooh Corner, 11 a.m., Kenton County Public Library, Covington. Again at 3 p.m. at the library's Erlanger branch. 491-7610.
• Two weeks out: June 2 is the official release date for the American edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. . The much-anticipated sequel to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is so hot that Scholastic moved up publication from September. Barnes & Noble is taking advance orders (and is offering a tidy 10 percent discount off the $17.95 retail price).
