The Black Hollies Off Broadway	Sun., May 11, 8:00pm	St. Louis - South Grand
First, melt down your favorite Who, Kinks, Stones, Motown and regular ol' Hollies records, run them through a blender and toss them in your freezer. Wait 30 years to pull them out and throw 'em into the microwave. Three minutes later, presto: the Black Hollies. Sounding more like London ca. 1965, than New... More>>

Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra: Exploding Colors Powell Symphony Hall	Daily from Thu., May 8 until Sun., May 11	St. Louis - Grand Center	Concerts
Carmina Burana ? Its origin is as fantastic as its music: Orff was inspired by the poems of the Goliards, a group of mendicant clerics in Medieval times who drank, swore, profaned their flesh and used the arts to satirize the Mother Church. (C'mon — that's practically the template for black metal.)... More>>

Miniature Books: 4,000 Years of Tiny Treasures Washington University	Daily from Mon., April 21 until Fri., June 6	University City	Special Exhibitions

Miniature Books: 4,000 Years of Tiny Treasures is on... More>>

Scotch Tour The Scottish Arms	Daily	St. Louis - Central West End	Drink Me
To whom you're born, your resulting cultural heritage — there's no choice in that. It's happenstance. But some of us get lucky: We have the Scots blood running tartan-red, and we think it's cool. And St. Louisans with the Caledonian stuff can be damn happy about the Scottish Arms (6-10 South Sarah... More>>

Last year’s Munny Show at Star Clipper Comics (6392 Delmar Boulevard, University City; 314-725-9110) was a crowd-spilling-into-the-streets, DJ-shaking-the-walls affair that would be hard to top — except that this year’s Munny Show is also Star Clipper’s 20th anniversary party. So, yeah:... More>>

Tropical Moose Kirkwood Farmers' Market	Daily from Sat., May 10 until Mon., September 1	Kirkwood	Kidstuff, Farmers' Markets, Eat Me
Global warming is definitely a hot-button topic, and rarely do you ever hear any global-warming pros. Maybe it's the nature of heat — most people don't like to sweat.

White House Horses Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site	Daily from Mon., April 28 until Thu., May 15	Affton/Concord	Special Exhibitions, Attractions
If you grew up in the Reagan '80s, you're familiar with the sight of a president on horseback.
