Your Weekend Entertainment, Oct. 9-11
October 09, 2009
TGIF! We may get a little snow on Saturday, but that’s no reason to avoid the Midtown Farmers’ Market. It’s open 8 – 1 on Saturday. “Come to get your carving pumpkin and bobbing apples and your last stores of market produce before the winter!” Live music and storytime with East Lake Library is in the cards.
Looking indoors, at the Midtown Global Market, the Twin Cities Birth & Baby Expo is on Saturday from 10 – 5. There will be over 50 confirmed exhibitors, goodie bags for the first 350 visitors, door prizes, and a “Meet the Doulas & Midwives” event at 11:00 AM.
The next day, it’s time for Sunday brunch! Each Sunday, a chef from a Midtown Global Market restaurant will prepare and sell brunch in the Market’s Central Plaza. This week’s brunch comes from Pham’s Deli, serving Vietnamese pho and traditional beef noodle soup.
Live music? We’ve got that too. At Old Arizona, at 28th & Nicollet, The Wreck performs, with guess Scott Moses Murray, at Saturday starting at 8:00 PM. The Wreck. is an eclectic cover band, ranging from Blues, R&B, and straight up Rock and Roll, both older and newer. Very focused on Fun. $5 cover.
Bryant Lake Bowl is musically inclined too, with a CD release celebration show for Vicki Emerson & the All Man Band on Saturday at 10:00 PM. Says the Twin Cities Daily Planet: “You want be at the Bryant-Lake Bowl on Saturday for Vicky Emerson if you appreciate gifted singing and songwriting in the genre you could call country soft-rock. Emerson’s talent transcends category: strong artistry, plain and simple.”
Also at the BLB this weekend: Master Works: The Goya Plays and Last Laugh on Friday, Clementown and In the Weeds on Saturday, and The Importance of Being Earnest on Sunday.
Some author readings at Magers & Quinn this weekend. Saturday at 7:00 PM, Erinn Batykefer reads poetry from Allegheny, Monongahela, and Greg Sanders reads from his collection of interrelated stories Motel Girl. And Sunday at 7:00 PM, Matvei Yankelevich and William Waltz read from their new poetry.
And last for this entry, but not least, Saturday from 11 – 3, Ingebretsen’s hosts Dog Day! A Benefit for the Hearing and Service Dogs of Minnesota. It includes a Dog Sweater Fashion Show. Hearing and Service Dogs of Minnesota (HSDM) dogs and their owner will model their matching Norwegian sweaters, designed and knit by Paul Robinson. Paul’s dog sweater knitting pattern will be on sale and Paul himself will be there to advise knitters on how to fit and knit a Norwegian sweater for their dog.
