MUSIC - Dntel
Who knows how long we’ll have to wait for the next Postal Service delivery. As fans stay hungry, beatmaker Dntel continues to drip feed them his trademark indie-electro. Lincoln Hall, 10pm, $12, 18 and older.

ART & DESIGN - Out of Site: Meg Duguid
What do you get when you combine a walking mustache, Bubble Wrap and a surprise?: Duguid's comedic contribution to Wicker Park's performance-art series. Polish Triangle, W Division St at N Milwaukee and N Ashland Aves (outofsitechicago.com). 5–7pm. FREE.

ART & DESIGN - "Is This Thing On?: The Art of Comedy"
If you "just want to unwind and be entertained," curator Miguel Cortez promises this exhibition of humorous art is for you. Contributors include Catie Olson, Chris Silva, David Leggett, Meg Duguid and Nick Black. Cobalt Studio (1950 W 21st St, cobaltartstudio.blogspot.com). 6–10pm. FREE.

DANCE - Matter of Reaction Movement Project: “Into Daybreak”
This up-and-coming company has lain low since its uneven but overall enjoyable mixed bill, "Luminous," last January. "Into Daybreak" is a double feature on the subject of fear, "an innate human emotion continually fed by the media and our changing global climate," says MRMP's release. Codirectors Kathleen Hickey and Renee Murray unveil Unrest and Dismembering the Subject, respectively; musical collaborators include Mark Jamerson and Dan Smart. Menomonee Club, Drucker Center, Fasseas White Box Theatre (1535 N Dayton St, 312-664-4631, menomoneeclub.org). 8pm; $15.
