| Battle of the Champions Subterranean Books | Daily from Fri., November 14 until Sun., January 11 | Delmar/The Loop | |

| Some Like It Cool Film Festival Tivoli Theatre | Daily from Tue., December 9 until Thu., December 11 | Delmar/The Loop | |
As many an awkward teenager can attest, being "cool" is not something that can be taught, bought or sold.
