THURSDAY 12/2

200 GLASSES OF BEER -- While the promo Dr. Seuss name of this event implies that you will happily find yourself imbibing triple-digit steins of beer, in actuality you purchase a one-of-a-kind glass for $20, get the first fill-up for free, and then pay to sample other beers featured by participating breweries. Proceeds benefit the Market Foundation. Desimone Bridge, Pioneer Square, 6-11 pm.


SATURDAY 12/4

APPETITE -- C'mon, get all arty -- it's a post-Halloween costume ball, featuring local musicians Reggie Watts, Omar Torrez, Jason Webley, Jeppa Hall, and Christopher Overstreet, as well as a cabaret with Bret Fetzer, Abby Enson, and Sgt. Rigsby and his Amazing Silhouettes. Proceeds benefit dance companies BetterBiscuitDance and glassbones ensemble. ArtSpace, 216 Alaskan Way S, Pioneer Square, 7:30 pm, $8.

HOLIDAY ZOO BRUNCH -- The idea of fattening yourself up in the midst of caged predatory animals has a sick appeal. This season, Woodland Park Zoo offers scrambled eggs, Belgian waffles with strawberries, bacon, sausage, Danishes and mini-muffins. Afterward, Santa is thrown to the emus. Woodland Park Zoo, 5500 Phinney Ave N, 684-4825, 9-10 am, zoo admission.


TUESDAY 12/7

WOMEN'S ORGASM -- The Seattle Institute for Sex Therapy, Education, and Research would like to take you in hand for a full exploration of the "difficulties and the possibilities of female sexual pleasure," a topic which perhaps the American male discusses as intimately as ear wax. Seattle Institute for Sex Therapy, 100 NE 56th St, 522-8588, 8:30 pm, free.
