San Jose, California
The San Jose Museum of Art (museum)
is located in downtown San Jose next to the Fairmont Hotel and right across from the Plaza de Cesar Chavez. It boasts free admission for everyone, including free tours of the museum. Every quarter they change their contemporary exhibitions to a different theme, so it's never the same old, same old throughout the year.

Chicago, Illinois
The Neo-Futrarium (theatre)
Although they periodically put on full-length plays, their signature show, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is "30 plays in 60 minutes". It runs 50 weeks a year on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays and is the longest-running play in Chicago (14 years). It costs $5 plus the roll of a 6-sided die (so, $6-$11). Once you're in, you're handed a nametag and a "menu" of plays to choose from, numbered 1-30. If you see one that sounds interesting, shout out the number when the time is right. They'll perform the first number they hear, and the process is repeated 29 more times or until the timer runs out, whichever happens first. If they have a sold out house, they order (really damn good) pizza for everyone ("when we sell out, we order out!"). The plays change periodically and are of personal nature and written by the cast. They range from angry to hilarious to visually poetic to deeply sad. They also vary in quality, but the show is definately worth seeing. Make sure to get there 15-30 min early to find parking spaces, and note that it's first come first serve and they tend to sell out Saturdays especially.

Indianapolis Children's Museum (kids)
The largest children's museum in the United States. Believe me, this place isn't just for kids. There are more fun hands-on things to do there than can be described, and exhibits change every 3 months. Plan to spend the whole afternoon. They also have a dome theater that isn't quite an IMAX, but very similar

ABC No Rio (venue)
Accepts any zines for additional to its library of 3000 publications. "This project began in 1998 when we rescued the Blackout Zine Library from a squat in the South Bronx which was to be evicted. Since then numerous individuals have donated their personal collections." The collection is open for browsing on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Nickel Arcades (arcade)
small fee to get in, but a whole lot of fun with a few nickels!"
Second opinion: It's on the same block as Paradox, the vegan-friendly, incredibly hip diner. What is it called? Oh--the Avalon. It's also a movie theater. The video games are a nickel, or sometimes two nickels, but you do have to pay a cover charge to get in, either a movie ticket or like two dollars. We also have the Retrocade, called Ground Kontrol, which isn't a nickel but features only classic Atari video games. The one that's left is on SW 12th a few blocks south of Burnside." -gillian

Dallas, Texas
Women's Museum (museum)
part of the Smithsonian, the women's museum was put in Dallas so it would be equally difficult to visit from each coast. It just opened in 2000 and has a lot of room to grow, so the exhibits are very cool but there is a lot of unused space. There's a great comprehensive timeline, a listening booth for women reading their own poetry, a Great Women in Sports section as well as Women's Health and Women in Science sections. The third floor is reserved for traveling exhibits, Annie Leibowitz's Woman exhibit is coming next, right now it's a photographic exhibit of women athletes

Byrd Theater (theatre)
It's the local second-run movie theater that's an architectural masterpiece. You can see movies at night for $1.99, 99 cents for a matinee. And sporadically, there's the midnight movie series. They've been holding them more frequently this year after restarting it last fall. Midnight movies are usually cult movies. If you go, get your tickets a few hours ahead of time, and know that sometimes the midnight movie doesn't start until 1am, so you may be waiting in line to get in for an hour. The only bad part is that the seats on the lower level are extremely uncomfortable, your bum can fall asleep within an hour, and the seats aren't very tall-people friendly. Occasionally for some midnight movies, they open the balcony, where the seats are better and more comfortable.
