Three events coming to you this weekend only
Freewheel Midtown Bike Center’s Ride and Un-Wine-D. Saturday night starting at 5:00 PM. A 90-minute special cycle class led by Jeff Rosga, followed by a Wine & Beer Reception hosted by Freewheel. Note that this is a BYOB event — BRING YOUR OWN BIKE!
A huge sale at Tatters. They’re celebrating 30 years in business by offering a 50% discount on everything in the store, through all of Saturday and Sunday.
Midtown Global Market’s Black History Month Celebration. All day long on Saturday. The Powderhorn Phillips Cultural Wellness Center (PPCWC) and KFAI Radio host. This celebration, entitled “Memphis to Maliâ€, will honor the historical, musical, cultural and artistic traditions of the African American community. There will be live entertainment, an art exhibit, book expo, and much more.
For a night (or day) out at the theater
For the kids, In the Heart of the Beast Theatre’s Saturday puppet show Land of 10,000 Lakes: Minnesota’s 150-year Connection to Water. What makes a shower and what keeps all the grass so green? Water of course! The water that we know so well…or do we? 10:00 AM & noon.
Jungle Theater’s Blithe Spirit, now entering its third weekend. When successful novelist Charles Condomine and his wife Ruth invite a local psychic to conduct a séance at their dinner party to gather material for his next book, they fully believe her to be a harmless fraud. But Madam Arcati successfully conjures up the ghost of Charles’ annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira, who decides not to honor the vow “until death do us part.†The Star Tribune recommended it highly, saying that “sterling performances at the center of Noël Coward’s witty comedy make the Jungle’s staging soar.”
And Bryant Lake Bowl has four shows lined up. Friday night, it’s Master Works: the Rembrandt plays, where six directors translate six of Rembrandt’s work to the stage, and Inglorious Villifiers, where the Villification Tennis crew invites you to come and “celebrate your ignorance of all films that weren’t directed by Michael Bay.” Saturday night it’s Profile, an evening of dance and video vignettes with performances, and another round of Inglorious Villifiers. The Rockstar Storytellers close out the weekend with Self Help on Sunday.
Live music at Sauce
Friday night it’s Pictures of Then, with The Effects and Modoc. Saturday night it’s Ten Ton Bridge, with Mood Swings, Middlepicker, and Icy Shores. And Sunday night it’s Martin Devaney, with Brad Senne, Luke Redfield, and Minor Kingdom. Friday and Saturday have a $5 cover, Sunday is free to get in. All shows are 21+ and have doors open at 9:30.
