WhiskerMania 5 Pre-Party and World Soul Patch & Fancy Hat Championship Gravely Brewing Co. No cover  |  6 p.m. Before Saturday’s Whiskermania facial hair competition, there’s another face-off of furry faces to enjoy: the first ever World Soul Patch & Fancy Hat Championship. Both real and fake soul patches are allowed, but competitors must wear a fancy hat, defined as “many things to many people”: a Derby hat, perhaps, or a vintage fedora. This event also serves as a pre-party to the rest of the weekend’s festivities, with socialization, beer and sustenance from Mayan Street Food available for purchase.

Poets & Painters: Spoken Word and Art Edition Kula Gallery $10  |  7-11 p.m. This reoccurring event, hosted by poet Robin G, is an evening of art: Listen to storytellers and spoken word artists perform while participating in a guided canvas painting.

Quality Cable’s Last Show Rockerbuilt $3 pre-sale, $10 day-of  |  8-11 p.m. Quality Cable is calling it quits just as the indie rock band’s reputation was growing. Its longevity was never certain, by nature of it being formed by UofL music students, and now, its members are preparing for graduation, with guitarist Andrew Ramsey leaving for Poland. Before they’re scattered throughout the world, they’re playing one last show alongside The Last Origin (psych-rock) and The Captain The Ship (folk and indie)
