Getting Even is a 1993 rock album released by guitarist Greg Ginn on Cruz Records, his first full-length solo album. Ginn had taken time to establish his solo career after the breakup of Black Flag. Very different from his work with other bands such as Gone, Getting Even consists of jam-oriented, punk-blues material. Most of the songs barely last two minutes which has come to be uncommon amongst his other musical projects, but still is given attention with a positive light.

Getting Even is a fantasy short story by Isaac Asimov. It is the first story in his series of Union Club mysteries, and also the first in his Azazel fantasy series. It first appeared in the August 1980 issue of Gallery.
According to Asimov, this story was omitted from both of his anthologies The Union Club Mysteries ( Doubleday: 1983) and Azazel (Doubleday: 1988) because it did not match the later stories in either series. It is the only Azazel story not to appear in any of Asimov's own books, although there are 21 other Union Club stories which have never been collected.
"Getting Even" was reprinted in Tales from the Spaceport Bar ( Avon Books: 1987), an anthology of stories by different authors.
