Cheap Thrills

DOWNTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT: For free entertainment, you can't beat the Arts District's bi-monthly melange of music, art openings and street performances. On Saturday, September 2, the Gila Monsters Sextet explores the rhythms, harmonies and melodies of Dixieland jazz from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Ronstadt Transit Center. Master storytellers and magicians light up Arizona Alley from 7 to 10:30 p.m. with Tales of Arizona; and performance artist Will Clipman brings masks, movement and music to Winsett Park on Fourth Avenue. And the Late Show at the Screening Room, 127 E. Congress St., will feature "animation classics" at 10 p.m. Call 622-2262 for movie ticket information.
