(Sat., Oct. 9 at 7 p.m., Iron Horse, Northampton. Tickets $12.50 in advance, $15 at the door.)

Editors' DVD Pick of the Week

Recently-released chick flick "Mean Girls" is a gut-wrenchingly hilarious look at female-to-female relationships and social aggression. Written by "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) star Tina Fey and with a cast of all-star SNL performers and the gorgeous teen-queen Lindsay Lohan, the movie will have you laughing so hard that you'll be lucky not to pee in your pants. After being home-schooled and living in Africa with her zoologist parents, Cady Heron (Lohan) enters a whole new jungle when she attends public school for the first time. As a "regulation hottie" Cady is invited to join the alpha female super exclusive clique, The Plastics. Cady discovers herself and her place in this new environment.
