Things to do tonight: Two shows around Chinatown are vying for your attention. First, head over to 406 7th Street for the 7:00 - 9:00 Civilian Art Projects opening of Jason Zimmerman's first solo show (at Civilian, anyway), featuring installation, drawings, and video (also featured: works by Miami artist Jen Stark).

Split your time between there and 923 F Street , where Reyes + Davis is opening a show of recent paintings by Janis Goodman--artist, Corcoran instructor, and WETA arts reviewer. That reception runs from 6:30 to 9:00.

Once you're done with that: If, like me, you're a '90s indie rock refugee, the only place to be is the Black Cat for the reunion tour of former Chapel Hill based Touch and Go/Merge records artists, Polvo. Doors open at 9:00; tickets are $13. Quick! Stare at your shoes! Detune those guitars! Sing inscrutable lyrics quietly!
