Salt-N-Pepa play MOPOP's Icons of Pop Culture Gala on October 22 at the 250-capacity Sky Church, which the writer calls probably your only shot at seeing them in a room that small. The week's other picks include Barbara Kingsolver at Benaroya Hall and experimental composer Tyondai Braxton at Vera Project.
