Emily gets so many invites to interesting stuff on Facebook and via email that it seems like a waste not to share the wealth. If you've already combed our new and improved events listings and still can't find anything that strikes your fancy, check here every afternoon for a few bonus things going on that night. Want to invite Emily to your event? Cool! She's at facebook.com/emilygee. You'll probably be better served by entering your thing into our events system, though.

Tonight, things that look back across the decades.
6:30 p.m. — Black and White and Dead all Over at Prince Music Theater.
A free screening of the upcoming documentary about the effects of the busted newspaper-journalism model on investigative reporting. The film's heart is Daily News reporters Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker, the badasses who won a Pulitzer for their investigation into a crooked narcotics squad a few years ago; both will be there to speak after the screening. It's free, but you need to RSVP to nancycutler12@gmail.com.
