NIGHT MOVES: Hair Rocket, the Veterans Day option, Still Bill screening

Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

' An interesting proposal: The band Hair Rocket wants you to snip off a piece of your hair, fasten it to a rocket and let the stinking thing loose. These rapscallions are playing the Khyber (56 S. Second St., 215-238-5888) tonight at 8 p.m. for $8. We can't guarantee that it'll be a good show musically speaking (though, by all accounts, the garage-rock thing they've got going on is decent), but it'll no doubt be entertaining. Attaching your hair to a rocket? That's some Central, Pa., bored-in-the-suburbs shit, which is pathetic and sad and immature, sure, but it's also funny. See the video above for an example.

' It's Veterans Day. Go commemorate World War I soldiers at Wooden Shoe Books (704 South St., 215-413-0999), where members will examine the war that killed more than 16 million through literary, historical and poetic works at 7:30 p.m., for free.

' Do as movies editor Molly Eichel does and see a free screening of Still Bill.
