If you don’t feel like going to school this week, then check out these freebies instead. You’ll probably learn more — and have more fun — than you would at school anyway. Just don’t go suing the Daily Lobo when you fail that one history course.
PARTY
Today
Hit up Burt’s Tiki Lounge at 8:30 p.m. for the punk rockers SuperGiant. The event is free, but your bar tab is your own problem. Tip: Don’t bring any money to spend. You might be mad at yourself that night, but you’ll be happy the next morning.

Have you ever philosophically pondered the difference between art and artifact? What about the difference between art and artifact in Oaxaca, Mexico?
