The biggest going-on this weekend is of course the City of Lakes Loppet, the big cross-country ski festival that has its finish line right in the middle of Uptown. They suggest that spectators check out Lagoon between Lake of the Isles and Hennepin on Saturday, from 10:30 – 3:30. And on Sunday, check out the Mall area (by the Greenway and Walker Library) between 9:45 – 3:30, including the awards ceremony around 3:00. And there’s plenty more going on too! Check out:
Patrick’s Cabaret: Their show this weekend is Herding Logic. It features music with Cuddlefish Squid, a comedy performance by David Hanbury, Curio Dance, sonic mayhem with I R Gadgetar, music with NikoStrums, and storytelling by Howard Lieberman.

Exposed Brick Theatre: Their newest piece, a performed reading called Evolution, is being held at the studio of Pangea World Theater at 711 W. Lake. “A coming-of-age story about cultural navigation, assimilation and realization.” It’s on Friday & Saturday night.
