Bukimi is the Japanese word for “eerie” or “ominous.”And tonight, Bukimi is also an Asian horror-themed party, courtesy of Yummyholic’s Cupcakes & Culture Series and Awesome Pittsburgh. Yummyholic founder Jasmine Cho takes over Cavo nightclub with a haunted night market, art displays, adult trick-ortreating and food, including small bites from Asian-owned restaurants and Cho’s own “nomicakes.” There’s also a free photo booth and sounds by Tracksploitation. Dress code: Dress up, in red and/or black colors only. Bill O’Driscoll 8 p.m.-midnight. 1916 Smallman St., Strip District. Free (VIP: $25). www.flavorus.com/bukimi
{STAGE} Hard to believe a play by a Pulitzer-winner would take 17 years to be produced here — but Suzan-Lori Parks’ work is seldom easy to stage, or to digest. Venus is the OBIEwinning 1996 work by Parks (later Pulitzered for Top Dog/ Underdog). The play’s about Sartije “Sarah” Baartman, the South African woman who two centuries ago found herself in London, exhibited

The first performance is tonight. BO 8 p.m. Continues through Nov. 10. Studio Theatre (Cathedral of Learning), 4200 Fifth Ave., Oakland. 412-624-7529 or www.play.pitt.edu
