LET 'ER BUCK—It's rodeo time, motherbuckers! It's easy to forget that friendly-and-fleeced Oregon is, at its heart, the Wild West. So slap on some ass-gripping Levi's and head east, friends, for bronco bucking, barrel racing, Indian relay races, and funnel cake at the best rodeo in all of America, the 102-year-old Pendleton Round-Up. SM
Pendleton, Oregon, Wed Sept 12-Sat Sept 15, $15-25
001011100001—If you're one of those people who complains about how terrible and unoriginal movies are these days, shut up and see Robot and Frank—a hilarious, sad, sweet film about a grumpy, elderly ex-con (Frank Langella) who tricks a friendly robot into helping him pull off a heist. EH
