LIT | DINE & RHYME
“I rip and I rhyme, I rhyme and I rip, this is the way that Dylan spits.” That’s an example of a bad rhyme. If you want to hear some good rhymes, then check out BOA Editions’ 16th Annual Dine & Rhyme event, taking place this Sunday, September 29. The event will feature readings by award-winning poet LiYoung Lee, who will be accompanied by David Whetstone on the sitar (the instrument Ravi Shankar made famous). You can also bring copies of Lee’s books to get signed. The readings take place at the Gallery Auditorium in the Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. After the readings, head over to Good Luck Restaurant (50 Anderson Ave) for a reception, dinner, and silent auction. Reading begins at 3 p.m., and reception begins at 5 p.m. Tickets range from $25 for the reading, and $125 for the reading and reception.

EXHIBITION | “ALIENS AND ANDROIDS”
We’ve all asked the question at some point: are we alone? Then somebody near you says “I’m right here,” and you give an angry rebuttal on how you were talking about alien life. If the concept piques your interest, the Rochester Museum and Science Center has the exhibit you’ve been waiting for. “Alien Worlds and Androids” explores if we are truly alone by showcasing the works of scientists looking for alien life. It also examines the robots and androids that are so popular in Hollywood films, and some will even be there in the form of full-size models (C-3PO and Iron Manm just to name a few). The exhibition opens Friday, September 27, is free with regular museum admission, and will run through December 22, so there are plenty of opportunities to make it. The RMSC is located at 657 East Ave. Go to rmsc.org for more information. — BY TREVOR LEWIS Walking on Sunshine. 9:30 a.m. Ontario Beach Park, 4799 Lake Ave. Form a team and raise money and awareness for Mary Cariola Children’s Center 271-2897 x1610. lrosenbaum@ marycariola.org. crowdrise.com/ walkingonsunshine.
