YOU ARE GETTING SLEEPY: It could be one of those nights when you make a fool of yourself and don't remember a thing in the morning.
Or you can laugh at someone else who's being put through the paces with hypnotist Tom Deluca on Saturday night at Radford University.
Don't be afraid to volunteer. He's not into humiliation.
DeLuca has been named National Campus Entertainer of the Year three times and has been called ``the hottest act on college campuses'' by Rolling Stone magazine.
A former therapist, DeLuca has been returning to RU annually for more than a decade. You can catch him at 8 p.m. in the school's Preston Auditorium. Tickets are $7. Call 831-5420.
If you're busy Saturday night, DeLuca will be appearing at Roanoke College's Bast Center on Sept 28. Tickets are $10. Call 375-2306 to reserve a seat.
BE A STAR: You or someone you know can be part of the entertainment at The Sedalia Center's open stage coffee house on Saturday beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Lynchburg will be well represented with the comedy team of Shelton & Shelton, singer-guitarist Warren Page and Randy Hudson, a pianist and teacher.
Poets, dancers and wizards are also welcome. All it takes is some chutzpah and a call to (804) 299-5080 to register.
Performers get in free; others pay $6 or $2 if they're under 16. Remember to get directions, too.
The center is in Big Island, north of Bedford on Virginia 638.
``HEY,MOM, I'M HUNGRY!'': The eternal question, ``What's For Supper?'' will be answered today and Saturday at 11 a.m. in the Roanoke Civic Center Auditorium. The Southern Living Cooking School will bring its two-hour program to the Roanoke Home Show.
Hostess Stacie Hughes won't tie you to the kitchen by your apron strings, though. Her entertaining ideas and recipes ``are easy to prepare with valuable tips for saving time,'' she said.
Advance tickets are $3 at all Kroger stores or $4 at the door and include admission to the home show.
You'll also get a gift bag with the show cookbook, coupons and premiums from national sponsors inside.
BRING BACK THE OLDE DAYS:Start celebrating Olde Salem Days a day early at the first annual kickoff party tonight from 5 to 9 at the Salem Farmer's Market. Sign up for door prizes, shop late at local merchants, listen to Q99 Radio up close and buy dinner from food vendors.
If you stick around until the sun comes up or come back after 40 winks, you can be on hand for the 16th Annual Olde Salem Days' festivities, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday on Main Street.
More than 400 artists and craftsmen from several states will sell their wares, competing for your attention with the 200 vehicles in the antique car show. All vehicles manufactured before 1977 are eligible for awards. Registration begins at 8 a.m. at Main Street and College Avenue.
The Children's Fair will return to Longwood Park. Just look for the hot air balloon. Tethered rides are available - for grownups, too. Kids can enjoy the petting zoo, fire truck, moon walk, face painting and other activities. When you get hungry, an international mix of food will be available at the Food Court and at Longwood Park. Entertainment will be on stages at Liberty Square, the Courthouse and at Longwood Park.
Travel back to the past when you visit the Roanoke Valley Central Railway's open house in the Salem Industries facility, just off College Avenue. Tour restored cabooses, boxcars and locomotives, see operating antique gas engines and other displays and check out the artifacts and antiques swap meet.
Then ride in style to downtown Salem in an Model T Ford. Free parking and shuttle buses to the event will be available at Salem Stadium from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Part of the proceeds will be used for the Salem Jaycees' charitable programs.
SYNCOPATION AND CHARDONNAY: Take a leisurely drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway to Chateau Morrisette for an afternoon of jazz and libations.
The $7 cost includes Allison King's performance (noon-5 p.m.), wine tastings, a tour of the winery and a souvenir glass
Plan on having a designated driver with you - the folks at the winery will check.
The winery is at milepost 171.5, about an hour from Roanoke.
If you need more information, call 593-2865.
