Artsy couch potatoes can indulge tonight at Stuff on Tape, a free exhibition of video works by nine Columbia College students. Actually, it won’t be much like home, since the stuff will be projected on a large screen rather than monitors, but it’s bound to beat Miami Vice. Viewing starts at 5 PM at the Hokin Art Center, 623 S. Wabash. For a full schedule and other details, call 663-1600, ext. 203.

Kay Stepkin’s Bread Shop, the city’s oldest natural-foods bakery, is simple and to the point. That’s why, quite naturally, it’ll be offering bread-making lessons to the public every Sunday at 1 PM beginning today. Now that football season is over in Chicago, what else have you got to do on Sundays? The shop’s at 3400 N. Halsted and there’s a $5 materials charge, Class size is limited, so call ahead: 528-8108.
We all thought we’d be different with our kids–we’d be their best friends, we told ourselves–but now some teenage version of ourselves with a torched Mohawk is sulking behind locked bedroom doors. There’s still hope. Northwestern Memorial Hospital is sponsoring a lecture at noon today, Communicating With Your Teenager, that’s sure to help. It’s free at the Carriage House, room 206, 215 E. Chicago. Call 908-7014 for the inside details.
If you like a little sleaze, Division Street and nearly naked men ought to do the trick. Drop in tonight (no cover) for Mother’s Fifth Annual Mr. Division Street Contest. Winner takes home all of $500 after being tops in sex appeal, charisma, and physique. And it’s not even for a worthy cause. Gyrations and accompanying drools begin at 10 tonight at 26 W. Division. For more, call 642-8000.
