1. Calvin Johnson, godfather of Olympia music, will be bringing his Hive Dwellers to the Den at 8 p.m. Joining him at the all-ages show will be local favorites Basemint and Friskey.

2. The Peabody Waldorf Gallery inside Sanford and Son Antiques will house seven piñatas of local interest, depictions of icons sadly missing from the Washington State History Museum's recent Icons exhibit. They will be auctioned off to the highest bidder - then destroyed for charity. The auction runs 5-8 p.m. today; you can view them beginning at noon. The beating will be March 27 at a party benefiting The Empty Bowls program.

3. Bill Benenson and Gene Rosow's documentary Dirt! The Movie, inspired by William Bryant Logan's book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, gives an intimate look at dirt at 6 p.m. inside Ingram Hall at Pacific Lutheran University.

4. Taking off at 6 p.m. from the Speakeasy Arts Cooperative, the Art Bus will take ticket holders to participating Third Thursday ArtWalk venues Mad Hat Tea, Embellish, Fulcrum, 253 Collective, and Tacoma Art Place, ending at the Rialto Theater for a performance by Dream On - the (almost) all-female Aerosmith tribute band. Tickets are $15. Reserve your spot here.
