CSU BFA majors Julia Manley and Bradley Niedt are presenting a drawing exhibition at the GNU Gallery Experience. Manley’s pieces focus on domestic interiors, uneasiness and distortion. She used water color, pen and ink, charcoal and wallpaper on drywall to represent typical yet warped domestic scenes. Niedt used repetitious lines, geometry and organic marks to represent the metaphysical and otherworldly. There will be a reception Wednesday, May 15 from 6 to 8 p.m.

What: Futaba Free Show
Where: Aggie Theater
When: Saturday, May 11 at 8 p.m.
Cost: Free, $5 to those under 21
Nebraska and Wyoming are pretty boring, so it figures Futaba drummer and guitarist would quit their respective states to come play in Colorado. They describe themselves as “funky” and “jazzy,” so if those are words that appeal to you this is probably your show. And if you’re not really sure? It’s free! Unless you’re under 21, in which case you can hear their sound at www.myspace.com/futabamusic.
What: FoCo Girls Gone Derby Psycho Sirens vs. Cinder’hellas
Where: Qdoba Events Center
When: May 18
Cost: $10
FoCo Girls Gone Derby is Northern Colorado’s first roller derby league. These badass roller derby girls are definitely worth the $10 and the slight drive — frankly, you could walk there. If you can’t suck it up to get there, I don’t know if derby is for you; the hip-checks, bruises, and trash talk are all real. So come cheer on your favorite team and watch these people play hard.
