>> We interviewed former Grandaddy member Jim Fairchild earlier today, so be sure to check out his show tonight at Black Cat under the moniker All Smiles. Fairchild opens for David Bazan, formerly the driving force behind Pedro the Lion, will open along with Lavender Diamond. 8 p.m., $12.

>> Palace of Wonders is hosting a special Day of the Dead performance of Philadelphia's The Squidling Brothers' Clown Centrick Sideshow, a vaudeville and burlesque act dedicated to anyone who ever had a traumatic circus experience as a kid. We agree: clowns are scary as shit. $8 cover for a 10 p.m. show.

>> It's the opening night of the AFI Silver Theater's 20th annual European Union Film Showcase, a great chance every year to see the best cinema coming out of Europe. The kick-off begins with Manoel de Oliveira's Christopher Columbus, the Enigma, a dramatization of scholar Manuel Luciano da Silva's book that attempts to prove that Christopher Columbus was actually Portuguese, and not Italian. 8 p.m.
