From a Portland-based artist, this signed, ltd edition, hand-pulled six-color print features a dapper koala in a bow tie, suit and bowler hat hanging off the end of a sinking, broken ship bow, calmly reaching out for one last drink from a bottle of moonshine held by a fish in a sailor outfit (a familiar site to anyone who's taken acid in Casco Bay).

Thursday Oct 23 6-9PM; 511 Tremont St, at E. Berkeley; South End; 617.247.2360

Head to Uniform for gratis UFO Hefeweizens, a DJ, and 20%-off new gear from the likes of Penguin, Loomstate, The Smooth Company, and Swiss-Army-knife-maker Victorinox, whose brand recognition means someone will almost certainly try de-scaling a fish on your stomach.

The Boston-based t-shirters keep the "blood, knives, and horror" theme alive, augmenting a lineup that already includes razor-bladed candied apples and knifed eyeballs with action like a blinged out, bloodied vampire grill -- what's the point of living forever if you can't ice up dem bicuspids?

October 28, 7-9 PM at Legal Seafood Prudential Center: 800 Boylston St, at Fairfield; Back Bay; 617.266.6800

Proceed to Legal for a four-course craft brew dinner pairing beer-themed eats (lobster bratwurst, scallop sausage, beer-braised confit of duck) with beer-themed beers (Julius Echter, Duvel, Chimay Premiere Rouge) while an expert from the Craft Brewer's Guild discusses craft brewing trends -- mostly involving other craft brewers snoozing drunkenly through Guild meetings.

This hand-carved, hand-stitched, two-pocket natural leather wallet comes with a black leather lining and a hand tooled Masonic design on front -- signifying that you'll die to protect the secret that your wallet's totally empty.
