Under the Blacklight

Strap on your thumb guard and get ready to rock, roll and bowl. Then head over to the Jaybowl, on the first floor of Kansas Union, for Cosmic Bowling. From 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., students can knock some pins around while rocking out to an electric light show. Cosmic Bowling occurs every Friday and Saturday. It’s free with a KUID, which covers shoes and bowling.

Marchin’ Down Mass Street

Pick your spot early on Saturday, as more than 30 high school marching bands from Kansas and Missouri join the Marching Jayhawks on KU Band Day. The parade, which runs on Massachusetts Street between 7th and 11th streets, begins at 1:30 p.m. The bands then play at halftime of the KU vs. Southern Louisiana football game, which kicks off at 6 p.m.

6xy Time

Get your culture on and check out the grand opening of the new 6 Gallery, 716 ½ B Massachusetts St., which hosts an artists’ reception tonight from 7 to 10 p.m. More than 40 artists with ties to Lawrence are displaying their work, which includes photographs, fabrics, woodcuts, etchings, jewelry, paintings and more. The inaugural show, called “Thresholds,” is the first of six planned for the next year. For more information, call 856-6480.

Frisbee Fun

On Sunday disc golf enthusiasts can try their hand at winning gift certificates to Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop at a disc golf tournament put on by Student Union Activities. The tournament starts at 1 p.m. at Centennial Park, 9th and Iowa streets. It’s a free event, but players have to bring their own discs. Foursomes will be determined by SUA at the park. SUA hopes to turn the tournament into an annual event. Winners take home gift certificates for $50, $75 or $100.
