Just because people are clamoring about the Super Bowl, it doesn't mean that the entire weekend is a wash. There's some great basketball, a film festival, and two awesome benefits for two great alty Richmond staples. Oh, and who's up for watching the big game on a 15x20-foot screen? Anybody???

This weekend we have the wisdom of the Dude, a classic tale of school boys gone cray-cray, Robert Redford makes the assassination of Abe Lincoln even more interesting than we thought it could be, plus more!

If you're like me and have been out of the country for the last week, you're probably itching to get the taste of Americana back in your mouth (grossest statement of the week?). This week there are 5 Things that are happening in Richmond that are as American as a Norman Rockwell painting of Robocop eating a slice of apple pie.

Christmas has come and gone, and 2011 is also about to bid adieu. But just because New Year's Eve is on the horizon doesn't mean that other things aren't happening around town. Here's 5 Things to tickle your imagination.

Before you hang your stocking with care (or with casual indifference, it’s your call, really) don’t think that Richmond closes down shop in the days leading up to Christmas. Elvis (young Elvis!) is in town, there’s some bizarre business happening in Carytown, and a cinema classic gets the big screen treatment.

Why did the mushroom go to the party? Because he was a fun-gi. If you thought that was funny, just you wait to see what’s going on this weekend: a famous comedian comes to town. There’s also family-friendly events with some things (wink) just for the adults.

If you’re comatose after an eggnog and holiday truffle binge, let me pull you out of the emotional gutter before your stomach and self-respect explode like the gluttony victim in the film, Seven. I’ve got things, five things to be exact, that will make life worth appreciating…at least through the weekend—beyond that I can’t be held responsible.

I know what you’re thinking: “I’m not doing anything during my Thanksgiving weekend!” To that we say: YES YOU ARE! Just because the northern hemisphere will tilt as a result of the collective weight we’ll all gain this weekend doesn’t mean that there isn’t cool stuff going on.

The weather has taken a rather chilly and rainy turn the last couple of days. Thankfully, there are many events going on that take place INDOORS. The weekend boils down to this: music, mummies, tattoos, and a kick-ass craft show. Let’s get to it.

We’ve had a really great week of weather, haven’t we? Although it looks like it might cool down a smidgen, we still have a great weekend to look forward to. Being that this very well may be the last weekend for pleasant weather until…geez…March (!) I think it best we use this time to actually do stuff. Here’s 5 Things to get you started.

Halloween is upon us, you ghastly and grotesque goblins you. But before you don your “original” sexy nurse outfit and double down on the Pabst as you drunkenly amble from bar to party throughout the Fan and Downtown, why not check out what else is happening this weekend.

The new “Batman: Arkham City” video game came out this week, and I’ve been dutifully shirking my responsibilities so I can play the game into the wee hours of the morning. But my eyes are shot from all the visual stimuli, so I think a break is in order. Thankfully there’s some pop-punk, punkish productions of Shakespeare, and some goblins to coax me out of the house.

The Folk Festival is about to FINALLY kick off, Less than Jake plays a smaller festival on Broad, I contemplate my female derby alter-ego in anticipation for the ‘Nightmare on 3rd Street, plus MUCH MORE that’s happening this weekend that proves why living in Richmond so does NOT suck!

Sweater weather is finally here! Thank da’ LAWD! And it’s rather serendipitous that we’re in consistent 70-degree temperatures and we have some really good outdoor events ready to be had this weekend.

Carnival rides, good times, a cinema classic with a musical rendition that no 3D movie can compete with, carbohydrate-licious Italian goodness, and a modern day band that’s one for the ages. All this is happening starting TONIGHT!

If you haven’t heard already, Richmond was just awarded the hosting privileges for the 2015 UCI World Road Cycling Championship. Excited? Great. Not sure how to kill the time until 2015? Well, I’ve got you covered for this weekend, at least.

Holy frijole! The Flying Squirrels are in the Championship Series! Not only that, but it also looks like the weekend is shaping up to be not hot as balls. As luck would have it, there are several very, very awesome events that require the use of ambulatory feet. We have art, Church Hill, sinfulness, and food happening--even some acoustic punk later this evening to get things going.

See what you did!?! Whatever it was, it MADE THE EARTH QUAKETH! I hope whomever was closest to you rolled-up the nearest magazine and promptly swatted you on the head.

Famous French actor Girard Depardieu urinated in the aisle of an airplane just before take-off. Oh, mon Dieu! Now that guy’s going to get into some BIG trouble. Looks like Girard’s and my plans for the weekend are going to get scratched. Curious as to what we were going to do? I’ve got the goods.

The future of First Fridays is uncertain, people are going mad in London, and Ashton Kutcher is reportedly getting near $900,000 per episode of ‘Two and a Half Men.” WTF!?! Luckily we have cool stuff happening in town to take our beleaguered and bemused minds off of the current inanity in the world!

Women give me a lot of nasty looks when I wear my "Let Me Hold your Melons" t-shirt around this time of year. What gives, ladies!?! I'm not trying to cop a feel for your boobs (although...) but rather a few of the watermelons that will descend upon Carytown this weekend like a plague of locust! And watermelons are but ONE of the many things kicking off in Richmond this weekend...

Let's do a quick straw poll: who's tired of hearing the phrase "debt ceiling?" Yeah. That's what I thought. While politicians continue to debate the country's debt like a bunch of 3 year-olds deprived of their afternoon nap, it is up to the common man to pursue his or her own happiness, with or without a AAA credit rating. Here's 5 things to get you started.

Holy last Harry Potter, Batman! This week's been crazy. We saw Harry Potter become a man, Apple released OS X Lion, and it's been hot as $%&* outside. We need to seriously chill 'til the next episode. So... what's the haps this weekend?

Ahoy! Did you know that telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell thought that’s what greetings over the phone should be. As it so happened, Thomas Edison suggested the more common “hello.” Knowledge. I’m FULL of it. Don’t know what’s going on this weekend? Guess what? I’ve got knowledge about that, too.
