This Beakend

Too Sexy for This Earth

Some people recycle to help Planet Earth, while others strut their stuff on the runway. Lada Salon & Spa, 4931 W. 6th St., is holding an Earth Day Fashion Show and Silent Auction at Liberty Hall, 644 Mass. St. The show begins at 6 p.m. Saturday and is open to all ages. The $10 donation for admission will support the cause to getting cleaner water in Kansas.

Me Talk Pretty One Day

David Sedaris will perform at the Uptown Theater, 3700 Broadway, tonight. Sedaris is the author of collections of personal essays “Me Talk Pretty One Day” and “Naked.” His big break came from telling stories on National Public Radio about his stint as a Macy’s Christmas elf. Now Sedaris, Time Magazine’s “Humorist of the Year” in 2001, performs for audiences nationwide. Tickets range from $25 to $34 for this all-ages performance. The show starts at 8 p.m.

Waiting to Inhale

Afroman, whose hits include “Because I Got High,” performs tonight at The Granada, 1020 Mass St. The singer’s latest album, “Waiting to Inhale,” was released earlier this year. Tickets are $10. The 18-and-over show starts at 8 p.m.

Jazz in the Park

To continue with the Earth Day celebrations, KJHK will present Jazz in the Park. Come relax at South Park at 12th and Massachusetts streets while enjoying performances from local jazz musician Red Lefty and New York-based Top Shelf Tunes. In addition to the jazz performances, guests can also play games and do crafts. Jazz in the Park begins at noon Sunday and ends at 6 p.m. Admission is free and the event is open to all ages. For more information, check out www.kjhk.org or tune in to Jazz in the Morning, every weekday morning from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m on KJHK.
