Chess Club
Everyone may have hopped on the chess trend when The Queen’s Gambit came out during the pandemic, but some have stayed there. For those who want to take their game off Chess.com and into real life, it may be hard to find a community of players – but fear not, one of the most pleasant spaces in town offers just that. First Light Books on Speedway transforms into a chill wine bar vibe at night, staying up till 9pm – and on Wednesdays, they bring out the boards for anyone to use. Sample their summer snack menu including crudité, charcuterie boards, and assorted sandwiches to nosh on while you ponder your next move. – Lina FisherWed., July 10 -

Music
La La Brooks, Al "Lil Fats" Jackson, Jivin' Gene
Put on a single by the Crystals and it feels like you’re hearing it from the transistor radio in a teenager’s bedroom circa 1962. The first “girl group” to work with madman producer Phil Spector, who’d soon perfect the genre, began recording innocently devoted anthems in ’61 but scored their greatest hits – “Then He Kissed Me” and “Da Doo Ron Ron” – after adding singer Dolores “LaLa” Brooks the next year. At 77, Brooks maintains timeless vocal magic, and her set lists are a history lesson on Sixties teen pop. Opening the Antone’s anniversary proceedings is jaw-dropping Fats Domino mimic Al “Lil Fats” Jackson and recently revived early swamp pop star Jivin’ Gene. – Kevin CurtinSat., July 6, 8pm -

The Book Club Was Better: Annihilation
You might say, “Wait, how can any movie that has Natalie Portman fighting herself as a mirror alien have a book version that’s better?” I might respond, “Sounds like you haven’t read Jeff VanderMeer’s mind-bending Southern Reach Trilogy!” BookPeople’s reading group focused on bringing attention to literary materials mined for film adaptations turns their sights to this eco-sci-fi thriller this month: Do the descriptions of Area X outclass cinematic depiction? Do the frightening transformations by the all-women investigative crew give better goosebumps on the page or onscreen? One thing’s for ding-dang sure: You’ll have to crack open the book to be sure. – James ScottMon., July 8 -
