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

The last time you saw Night Moves, it was a different time. And a different place. But I promise that here, at Critical Mass, is where I'll stay ' forever. Now onto tonight's options '

' If you haven't been to the free Science on Tap series at National Mechanics (22 S. Third St., 215-701-4883), you should go ' it's like a good, toasty conversation with a very intelligent friend. Tonight at 6 p.m., Flashpoint Theatre Co. director Noah Herman, along with several of his actors, will discuss their current show boom. And what does it have to do with science? Sez the press release: "Playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb is a former bio major who examines science through the lens of theatre. The darkly funny play imagines the creation story of the next form of life on Earth."

' Today marks the beginning of J. Karma's (62 N. Third St., 215-627-9625) annual jewelry exchange, in which you give up your gently used shoes, handbags, scarves and jewelry to The Career Wardrobe, and the boutique gives you $10 off your next purchase of $50 or more or $20 off your next purchase of $100 or more. Like a pawn shop, but cuter. J. Karma's open until 7 p.m. today, and the exchange lasts until Nov. 30.

' The Showdown's Catherine Grubb says you should go to tonight's 7:30 p.m. World Caf' Live (3025 Walnut St. 215-222-1400) show to see Heavy. I say go to see local indie act Illinois, despite their confusing name. It'll cost you $10.
