Top 5 Things To Do This Weekend, Oct. 20-21

Kaylon Rushing is one of a slate of international performers at the Y2K12 Live Looping Festival.

Y2K12 Live Looping Festival

Disclaimer: This event has nothing to do with the recent Bruce Willis/Joseph Gordon-Levitt blockbuster Looper, or time-traveling hitmen. But for only $5 more than going to the movie theater, you get three days of mind-blowing electronic music. See festival founder Rick Walker, Santa Cruz's own pioneer of the art form, and looping experts from around the world in action as they record, replay and relay various tracks to create intricate works of sonic art. http://www.santacruz.com/y2k-live-looping-festival-e1741552

Wooster

The Santa Cruz fusion rockers are back from Guam (no, really!) and ready to debut their new album for hometown fans. http://www.santacruz.com/ae/articles/2012/10/16/santa_cruzs_wooster_unveils_new_album

Friends Book Fair

In a post-Kindle world, it’s nice to know that book fairs still exist.  Find everything from autobiographies to Zora Neale Hurston as Friends of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries roll out the best of the best of their donations. http://www.santacruz.com/friends-book-fair-e1741562

Pizza My Heart Olympics

Pizza artists from twenty-two Pizza My Heart locations duke it out for eternal pride and glory on the Boardwalk’s beach bandstand. High stakes events include box folding, acrobatic dough tossing, largest dough stretch and longest dough spin. Winners get gold medals, losers eat the sandy pizza. http://www.santacruz.com/pizza-my-heart-olympics-e1733872

Bill Maher

It seems our nation has been pretty politically charged lately, probably something to do with this upcoming election. And Bill Maher may have a thing or two to say about it. The Real Time host brings his sharp tongue to the Civic Auditorium for a night of stand-up comedy and political satire as the clocks ticks down to Election Day for Barack and Mittens. http://www.santacruz.com/bill-maher-e1686301
