Get Out Omaha

If you have two minutes: Watch the trailer for Angelina Jolie’s new flick, Salt.

Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA operative accused of being a Russian spy out to assassinate the U.S. president. The film isn’t due out until next year.

If you have an hour: View the “Art of Ducati” at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Nomad Lounge in the Old Market. The exhibit showcases the Ducati lifestyle — fashion and motorcycles — not to mention Italian art. A mini fashion show will be held. Italian culture also will be celebrated through food and drink. Guests are encouraged to donate a nonperishable food item for the Omaha Food Bank. Information: 402-408-4400.

If you have two hours: Help out a local guy. Brent Geddings was recently diagnosed with H1N1, which turned into bilateral pneumonia. He has been in a coma the last 17 days at the Adult Intensive Care Unit at Nebraska Medical Center. Friends and family hope to raise money to help him pay for medical and personal bills with a Monday night charity poker party at the Red Onion Sports Bar in Council Bluffs. A dollar from each drink served and $10 spaghetti dinner plates will benefit Geddings. The poker tournament starts at 7 p.m. Information: 712-256-3398.

If you have a few hours: Visit the Omaha Wine Company’s 14th annual open house from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. A dozen different wine makers from Napa Valley and other wine regions will be on hand. Nearly 100 wines will be available to sample. Admission is $25, but you get a $20 gift certificate back to use at the wine store, near 114th and Dodge Streets, and a souvenir glass. Information: 431-8558

If you have a night off: The Gunk party at the Waiting Room Lounge, 6212 Maple St., jumps off at 9 p.m. today. The 18-and-older themed dance party takes place in Benson once a month. Tonight’s theme is “What the Gunk?” and people are supposed to wear their flyest sneakers. Take a Gunk handbill to BBB Ltd., 1320 Webster St., and you’ll get 15 percent off a new pair.
