GET TO IT
A guide to help make your day
GOING OUT
• Celtic sound: Mary Black is one of the most soulful singers of traditional and contemporary Celtic music, a fact she proved on 1997's Lilith Fair tour. She'll prove it again 7:30 p.m. today at the Taft Theatre. $24-$30, Ticketmaster outlets and the Taft box office.
• Blues and pasta: Both are on the bill tonight at Lucille's Blues Club, 3715 Winston Ave., Latonia, Howard & the White Boys provide the former while an Italian buffet supplies the latter. Buffet included in $12 admission. Food at 7 p.m., blues at 8. 431-8086.
›Photo Power: Jennifer Pearson Yamashiro, curator of Indiana University's Kinsey Institute, speaks on “The Power of Photography” 7:30 p.m. today at the Miami University Art Museum in Oxford. (513) 529-2232.
• For movie makers: Movie makers working in film, video and digital are invited to Greater Cincinnati's first “Media Salon” at 7 p.m. today at Cody's Cafe, 113 Calhoun St., Corryville. Works-in-progress are welcome at the get-together sponsored by Media Bridges (former Cincinnati Community Video), the Cincinnati Film Society and the Association of Independent Video and Filmmakers. 651-4171.
STAYING IN
• TV picks: The prognosis for ABC's new medical show, Wonderland (10 p.m., Channels 9, 2), is not good. For any chance of survival, it desperately needs a transplant away from TV's top-rated medical drama, ER, which airs a rerun tonight. Former Chicago Hope star Peter Berg wrote and directed this gritty series set in a New York psychiatric hospital. It stars Ted Levine (Silence of the Lambs), Michelle Forbes (Homicide: Life on the Street) and Martin Donovan (The Opposite of Sex).
• TV Critic John Kiesewetter says HBO's Cancer: Evolution to Revolution (8-10:35 p.m.) should be considered Cancer 101 — a thorough introduction to the disease, and wide range of treatments and other support resources.
WHAT'S IN STORES TODAY
• Cheerios to go: Moms can toss the Zip-Loc baggie. There's a new, more convenient way to carry those Cheerios that your toddler likes to snack on. The Cheerios Snack 'N' go is bagel-size plastic Cheerio that attaches easily to diaper bags, strollers or purses. Just fill with Cheerios, then clip and go. Only a measured amount of cereal is dispensed with each shake. The Cheerios Sports Muncher and the Cheerios Snackin' Cell Phone are other travel options. The Muncher features a dial control and baby bottle shape with an easy grip design for children. The faux cell phone has a compartment to fill with dry cereal. All of these Cheerios containers are $3.99 each and are available where toys and cereal are sold.
PLANNING AHEAD
• 24 hours out: During Final Friday, the doors open at all the Main Street and Pendleton area art galleries, 6-9 p.m.
• 48 hours out: Far out art by members of the Semantics Art Gallery, 1107 Harrison Ave., Brighton, 7-10 p.m. Saturday.
• 72 hours out: The Anton Felton Collection of Jewish carpets opens 4 p.m. Sunday at the Hebrew Union College Skirball Museum. Mr. Felton will discuss “Jewish Carpets: A History and Guide.” 221-1875.
