STAR PARTY: Ready to expand your astronomical skills beyond, "Look, the Big Dipper?" Find out about red giants, white dwarfs and other anomalies in the cosmic scheme of things at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 6, at El Pueblo Library, 1390 W. Speedway. Bring your favorite stargazers for a free talk on astronomy followed by a look at the night sky through a telescope. Who knows, maybe that star you've been wishing on is actually a planet. Call 791-5647 for information.
FUNGUS AMONG US: Why anyone ever saw fit to pull a mushroom out of the ground--or mound--and put it into his mouth will forever be a mystery. Nonetheless, mushrooms of all tastes, textures and sizes grow the world over, and local author Rita Rosenberg has compiled their preparation into a new book, Mushrooms--Over 100 Tantalizing International Recipes. Rosenberg, along with samples of her Mushroom Caviar, can be found from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 8, at the Haunted Bookshop, 7211 N. Northern Ave.
LAMPLIGHT GLOWS: The Lamplight Reading Series' monthly Sunday night poetry reading continues at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 9, in a new venue at The Grill, 100 E. Congress St., featuring Tucson poets Andi Blaustein, Ann Dernier and Carla Eardley. Treat yourself to coffee, milkshakes or a big bowl of Cap'n Crunch from the ever-evolving Grill menu. Be forewarned: the management clearly states, "We're not responsible for lost emotions." Call 743-0940 for information on the Lamplight Readings.
