DJs Liger and Matt Ratt will spin; a handful of models will be willing participants in the art of live body painting. Uh huh. Art rules! From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. www.genuinehi.com.

FINAL WORD
"These are dark, disturbing times. Movies have to reflect the times we live in. ('The Brave One') is about violence, pure and simple. It struck me as an appropriate theme at the moment."
Neil Jordan, the film's director, in Entertainment Weekly
