John Doe (right), sometime actor and cofounder of the legendary L.A. punk group X, rocks Veneta in support of his most recent solo release Forever Hasn't Happened Yet. In a press release, he describes the album as "not punk rock, but it uses all the same ingredients: sex, drugs, death, loss, longing and alienation." Doe helps Lucinda Williams (see story, page 28) kick off the Summer in the Vineyard Concert Series at Secret House. See Tuesday Calendar.


Botany, biology, entomology and more! The Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, founded at the Smithsonian's Museum of National History in Washington, D.C., brings its Annual Juried Exhibition to Jacobs Gallery at the Hult Center. The show includes original works of art created with the techniques that are used to illustrate scientific research books and educational materials. (detail of Blood 2,000,000X by Dr. David Goodsell is pictured at top right.) The show opens Friday at 5:30, with an insight talk earlier that afternoon. See Friday Calendar.


Reading isn't just for children anymore. The Eugene Public Library kicks off its Summer Reading program this week, and in honor of its centennial celebration, the library has included grown-ups in the fun. Starting June 17, three brief book reviews win you a free cup of joe and a chance to relax at "literary-themed" Sylvia Beach Hotel. For the youngsters among us, this year's theme, "Dragons, Dreams & Daring Deeds," comes to life Friday with a magic show by Arthur Atsma and a Fun Faire at the downtown library with live reptiles, clowns, wizards and the like. Monday's Joust Read Festival for Teens includes swordplay, calligraphy and dragon design with MECCA recycling artists. Other activities continue throughout the summer. See Calendar.


Loosely translated from Arabic as "destiny" and pronounced mock' tube, Seattle sextet Maktub brings soul and rock to the WOW Hall this week. The band describes their third and newest release, Say What You Mean, as a departure from the trip-hop roots of their earlier music. Singer Reggie Watts confesses, "Really, all we want to do is rock." See Friday Calendar.

The Willamette National Forest needs volunteers immediately for help with an annual bird conservation study. Birding experience is a plus, but not required. For information or to volunteer call 822-3381.

The Gallery at the Airport asks artists to submit digital images to be considered for inclusion in its next exhibit, "For the Birds." The show topic is artist-made bird houses, bird nests and birds in general. Emphasis is on unusual and creative interpretations, but all media will be considered. Deadline is June 30. Send images of no more than 800K to 22true@efn.org
