ick Offerman has become a TV icon. His character Ron Swanson — the deadpan, meatloving libertarian on NBC’s Parks and Recreation — may be equaled in sheer laughs only by Michael Richards’ Kramer on Seinfeld. Offerman is also a carpenter on the side (featured in Popular Woodworking). The point? He’s a good ol’ Midwestern Renaissance man. Just look at that mustache. See him at 8 p.m. at the Midland (1228 Main, 816-283-9921). Tickets cost $27.50. Buy them at midlandkc.com.
S U N D AY | 2 . 17 | DIRTY SKETCHERS
Branches of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School, the live-model drawing classes, are in more than 100 cities in 16 countries. The KC chapter (556 Lowell, Kansas City, Kansas) is in its fifth year, bringing together a cross-section of artists, looky-loos and anyone interested in an alternative social scene. Held on the first and third Sundays of every month, Dr. Sketchy’s has sexy models, DJs and lots of booze. Have you ever drawn a scantily clad circus performer hanging from ropes attached to the ceiling? Probably not. Try it tonight from 6 to 10. Cover is $10. For more information, see drsketchy.com/branch/kansascity.

W E D N E S D AY | 2 . 2 0 | PIN-TEREST
The best examples of photographs made by pinhole cameras, which have small apertures and lengthy exposure times, are those that produce an unlimited depth of field. Made from generally rudimentary parts, pinhole cameras were used by Ruth ThorneThomsen, who has donated 74 of her prints to the permanent collection at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (4525 Oak, 816-751-1278). The free exhibit Invented Worlds: Photographs by Ruth ThorneThomsen opens today. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art is located at 4525 Oak. For more information, see nelson-atkins.org.

BLOCK PARTY
We know you’ve been dying to go to Legoland Discovery Center (2475 Grand, 816-471-4386) since it opened last spring, but the strict “adults must be accompanied by children to enter” rule has kept you away. Fortunately, Legoland hasn’t forgotten you. On the third Monday of each month, the Crown Center playhouse hosts a two-hour, no-kids-allowed session. From 7 to 9 tonight, pay tribute to the Oscars — create film-related models, play movie trivia, and take all kinds of crazy Instagram photos of yourself playing with blocks in formalwear. (Organizers encourage attendees to dress up.) Tickets cost $19 at the door or $15 online. Buy them at legolanddiscoverycenter.com/kansascity.
