The only female judge on the most powerful court in the land is coming to Santa Fe to have a chat with the Chief Judge of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Robert Henry. Who knows what they'll talk about (perhaps it'll be a detailed discussion of the unlikely rise of Miley Cyrus?) but seeing the second woman ever to sit on the Supreme Court is a rare opportunity. The law-based revelry is in session at James A. Little Theatre in Santa Fe. The judges start gabbing at 2:30 p.m. and it costs $20 to get in the door. Visit sfai.org for more info. (SM) http://alibi.com/index.php?desired_page=calendar&desired_cal=lucky7 This year's Hyperfest is bringing us Sarah VonderHaar, a former contestant on "America's Next Top Model." Who knew that in addition to being modely, she would also release an album of indie-pop rock titled Are You Listening Now? And, soon, she'll drop a music video for "Got Sunshine," a song that "describes how to deal with the troubled world we live in by staying optimistic and reminding yourself of all the wonderful things we have in our lives," she says. From the mouths of babes ... . She'll be starting up the Hyperfest party at Launchpad tonight at 8 p.m. and will be followed by See What Happens, local hero Soular, The Cringe and Peekaboo Theory. You've got to be 21 to get into this showcase, but a show at The Agency on Saturday is all-ages. Hyperfest continues all weekend and is totally free. For more details, go to hyperfestival.com.

(AE) http://alibi.com/index.php?desired_page=calendar&desired_cal=lucky7 The Alibi's own Benjamin Radford, supernatural investigator extraordinaire, has given us mortals the power of gods with his board game, Playing God. The game pits major religious icons against each other in an all out brawl to rule the world, and even gives enthusiasts the opportunity to make new deities with super godlike powers. Today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tall Tales Comics (1410-D Wyoming NE) hosts a free, no-holds-barred Playing Gods tournament that's open to all ages and religious beliefs. For more details, call 296-6178. (AD) http://alibi.com/index.php?desired_page=calendar&desired_cal=lucky7 Butter and mayonnaise? It sounds like pure hedonism, but, hand to god, the best BLT requires them both. And of course the bacon has to be decent, but paramount to the whole equation is the T: There is no substitute for an honest-to-goodness Real Tomato. Homegrowns, heirlooms and clusters of rare, blushing beauties are front-and-center where they should be at the Albuquerque Garden Center's Tomato Fiesta. Let your kids loose in a play area just for them, then buy a bumper crop of non-supermarket tomatoes, receive wisdom from Master Gardeners, watch cooking demonstrations and literally taste the end of summer. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Albuquerque Garden Center (10120 Lomas NE, near Eubank). Cost is $5 for adults; kids 12 and under a free.

The noncompetitive 6.5-mile walk, bike or run course is open to all ages and abilities. For $35 per adult or $10 per 7- to 11-year-old, you'll help the American Cancer Society raise funds and burn a few calories.

Fold in Guy's All-Star Shoe Band and sound-effects wizard Fred Newman, and you've got the irreplaceable American splendor of "A Prairie Home Companion." The popular live radio theater hour is touring on the eve of its 35th season, with a stop in New Mexico tonight. $56 to $78 tickets are still available at (505) 986-5900 or (800) 280-4654. The show starts at 8 p.m. at the Santa Fe Opera House in Santa Fe--like Keillor's Lake Wobegon, also "where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average."
