The Weekender

This weekend, we recommend you check out Kosmo at C-Street on Friday and the Illinois Marathon on Saturday. Both events require proper hydration.

There’s something for everyone this weekend, from book nerds and hip Brazilians to, yes, even the New Kids on the Block.

Our recommendations for your weekend: Keith Harden, Dottie, and the Duke on Friday; some improv on Saturday; and sushi on Sunday.

A slower weekend, music-wise, than last week, but there’s dancing, Vertigo, and Che, just for starters.

Our recommendations for your weekend: beards on Friday, a little exercise on Saturday, and some ballpark dogs on Sunday.

This weekend, get hammered on cheap green beer today (or, conversely, avoid campus like the plague), take your pick between rock cellist or classical cellist on Saturday, check out our local Comic-Con on Sunday, and then bring it all home with T.I. on Sunday night.

May we recommend: a sketchy Friday night, shades of blues on Saturday, and a big stack of flapjacks on Sunday?

This weekend: visit Africa on Friday, catch the Monkey on Saturday, and get slimed on Sunday. Plus, free food!

Today is Friday the 13th, and tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. That can only mean one thing: curling up on the couch this weekend with your honey and watching Jason Voorhees go to work. (Or, possibly, these other suggestions.)
