Another chance to see this multi-media exploration of what it's like to be black in America -- a state, the creators note, that is never construed as neutral -- by two extraordinary African-American artists (poet Claudia Rankine and choreographer Will Rawls) and one extraordinary ringer who's married to an extraordinary African-American artist (Rankine's husband, the filmmaker John Lucas).  Another of those shows that are so compelling that it's no surprise the run is all sold out; waitlist at 7:15 each night.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Sake Bar Decibel has been there long enough -- 25 years -- that it should no longer be cool.  But it is, it is.  Great sake, good food, amazing vibe.
