Need motivation to get through another dreaded week at your soul-sucking job? There\u2019s no shortage of cool stuff to do in Madison… it\u2019s just figuring out which cool stuff best suits you. Here\u2019s what Madison is doing this week.<\/span>\n

P. Carl: \u2018Becoming a Man\u2019<\/h3>\n

Monday, Feb. 24, A Room of One\u2019s Own (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

For some people, the most life-altering thing they do in their 50s is buy a motorcycle. Author P. Carl, however, did something a bit different. He started living as his true self, transitioning genders after living a half-century as a woman. In his new book, Becoming a Man<\/em>, the author discusses his transition in frank and often funny terms, examining the impacts it\u2019s had<\/a> on his life and relationships.<\/span>\n

Natty Nation<\/h3>\n

Tuesday, Feb. 25, Cafe Coda (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s impossible to calculate the effect Bob Marley had not just on reggae but on popular music in general. So to celebrate the late legend\u2019s 75th birthday, Madison favorites Natty Nation are paying tribute to him. This is the 12th year the group has honored Marley for his special day, and by now they\u2019re just as good at playing his songs as they are at playing their own. Get up, stand up and go.<\/span>\n

Cinerruption Live!: \u2018Con Air\u2019<\/h3>\n

Tuesday, Feb. 25, High Noon Saloon (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

The only thing better than a good bad movie is making fun of it in real-time, and that\u2019s what High Noon\u2019s Cinerruption seeks to do. For the potential series\u2019 maiden voyage, comedians K.C. Phillips, Rory Rusch and Kayla Ruth will take a ride on Con Air<\/em>. For my money, the 1997 flick is one of the \u201cmost Nicolas Cage\u201d movies ever made, starring the actor as a convict on a flight with an all-star cast of murderers and rogues. It\u2019s absolutely absurd and a pinnacle of \u201cgood bad\u201d cinema. So join these three comics as they take the piss out of one of the best films to watch at 3 in the afternoon on TNT.<\/p>\n
