9am-4pm (BUGS!) - Insect Fair!!! ($4-adults $3-students and kids under 12) The Bronco Student Center will once again be swarming with creepy crawlers during the Insect Fair on Oct. 20 and Oct. 21, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Nearly a half million live insects and display insects from more than 20 exhibitors will be featured at the event sponsored annually by the Ag Bio Club. "It really opens people's eyes," says Plant Sciences professor Richard Kaae. "Most of the exhibitors are collectors, so all these beautiful bugs from around the world, are the kind of stuff you never see. It's quite amazing." Some of the features include an insect petting zoo, book and jewelry sales and the opportunity to taste some of the edible insects. The insect fair will also hold Madagascar Hissing Cockroach races where participants may enter their own cockroach to race for 50 cents. "People come back year after year because little kids are way into it," Kaae said. "They can buy bugs to put in their collections, like scorpions, giant millipedes that are longer than 12 inches and tarantulas that people keep as pets." Children two and under are admitted free. Free shuttles will be available to transport participants from the Insect Fair to the concurrent Pumpkin Festival at the pumpkin patch.

7:30pm-9pm (COMEDY) - ASSSSCAT (free)
ASSSSCAT, the Upright Citizens Brigade's improv juggernaut that has played to critical acclaim and sold out audiences in New York City for the past nine years, has landed in Los Angeles. So what exactly is ASSSSCAT? Well, it starts with a group of improv comedians currently working in film and television taking the stage accompanied by a special guest monologist. Some guest monologists are talented celebrities, others are screwed up weirdoes. Either way, they usually have great stories to tell. We take a suggestion from the audience, then the show begins. The special guest shares off-the-cuff thoughts, feelings, and personal remembrances inspired by the suggestion. The improvisers in turn use this impromptu monologue as fodder for a series of high octane, balls-to-the-wall improvised sketches that have made this show one of the longest running improv shows in the history of the world.
