And finally, for those who want to keep an eye on the travails of Nicaragua’s now-deposed Sandinistas, there’s another film, this one a 45-minute documentary by Chicagoan Bob Hercules. Did They Buy It?: Nicaragua’s 1990 Elections is a look at the recent vote through the eyes of U.S. journalists covering the story. The movie premieres tonight at the Amalgamated Clothing & Textile Workers Union Hall, 333 S. Ashland. It’s $5, and starts at 8 PM. Call 850-1300 for details.

Polka not your bag? How about disco? Try 70’s Saturday, billed as “a monthly rehash of the Me Decade.” Half revue, half celebration, tonight’s show features a special appearance by (minor) “disco diva” Linda Clifford and disco choreographers Cissy and Marcus, who’ll be instructing the crowd in the niceties of the Hustle and the Bus Stop. It’s appropriately set at Park West, home of what is alleged to be the largest mirror ball in Chicago. Park West is at 322 W. Armitage; doors open at 10 PM; it’s $10; call 929-5959 for information.
