Plans for tonight: Veepstakes

- Vice-presidential candidates Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) and Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) face off in their one and only debate, live from Washington University in St. Louis, at 7 on all major channels (and a few minor ones). Want to see it in a group? Utah Republicans start their party at 6:30 at their party HQ, 117 E. South Temple, Salt Lake City (call 801-533-9777 for info); while the left-wing party animals at Drinking Liberally will also have a party starting at 6:30, at a site to be determined (in keeping with Will Rogers' famous quote: "I'm not a member of any organized political party - I'm a Democrat").
- California indie rockers Cold War Kids play at 7 at In the Venue, 579 W. 200 South, Salt Lake City. Tickets are $15.50 at SmithsTix and 24Tix.
- Moses Pendleton's dance-illusionists Momix perform some of their greatest hits at 7:30 at Kingsbury Hall, on the University of Utah campus, Salt Lake City. Tickets, at $29.50-$37.50, available on the Kingsbury Hall web site.
- Repertory Dance Theatre opens its season with "The Messengers" - featuring works by the late Glen Tetley, the legendary Ze'eva Cohen, Elizabeth Waters and of-the-moment choreographer Andrea Miller - at 8 at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, 138 W. 300 South, Salt Lake City. Tickets are $30 at ArtTix. Runs through Saturday.
