Postcrypt Coffeehouse
This fall’s Postcrypt Coffeehouse series kicks off tonight and continues through tomorrow. Tonight, you can check out Dorie Colangelo, Inger Hansen, and Jake Hill. Tomorrow night’s performances include David Austerweil, Lola Johnson, and the Jerome Ellis Quartet. Bwog probably wouldn’t pay to see any of these acts, but, hey, that’s why it’s free!
Basement of St. Paul’s Chapel, 9 p.m. Free.
Cut & Paste Digital Design Tournament
Eight graphic design experts compete to see who can best visually interpret a theme in a 15-minute round. The best part? Each computer screen is projected so the audience can follow the creation from start to finish. The event–presented by Cut & Paste–will feature MC Ove and DJ sets from Kid Robot’s Chad Phillips.
(Note: The after party is at Home Sweet Home, 131 Chrystie St.)
Angel Orensanz Foundation, 172 Norfolk St., (212) 529-7194, 8-11 p.m., $15/$10 advance.
Simian Mobile Disco + JDH & Dave P + The Mood (DJ Sets)
Catch your favorite British dance group that’s not the Klaxons DJ a late night set at Highline Ballroom. Sure, it’s not a real Simian Mobile Disco concert (that’s going on earlier in the evening) but real concerts cost money (this one’s free with rsvp).
Highline Ballroom, 431 W. 16th St., 11 p.m. Free (rsvp here). 21+.

@bassface Come by tonight. it’s going to a good show.
jerome ellis quartet at 11
@random I stand corrected. This will be the only game the Lions will win this season.
@CML THE STONE? Rosen, this has your name all over this.
And the football team will probably win by around 30. Seriously, this is the most uneven matchup of Lions vs. Christians since, well … you know.
@random go watch the team lose
@confused you have to buy tickets?
is this at baker or at fordham…? if it’s at home then why the hell do we have to buy tickets
@Football!! There’s also a Columbia football game tomorrow. Kickoff is at 6, fan buses leave from CU at 4:30 and you can buy a ticket for the game for $5 from the Columbia box office in the gym.
