This weekend: 11/4-11/6

General Events:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday:

  • First Friday ART LOOP in Wilmington (and other towns).  http://www.wilmingtonde.gov/visitors/artloop
  • Free Lunchtime Live show at the Queen.  Noon. More details.
  • Kennett Square Farmers' Market.  2-6pm. 
  • Robot art on display at Poppycock Tattoo (7th & Orange). I'm not a tattoo person.  Nothing against them, but in my experience, it's more uncommon and interesting these days to *not* have a tattoo. But I am a fan of businesses trying to make a go of it in the Market Street area.   Details.
  • Showings at Theatre N. http://www.theatern.org/Films
  • Turkish belly dancing and French gypsy jazz at the Phila. Museum or Art's "Art After 5" event. Details.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saturday:
  • Brandywine Village Fall Festival.  Produce for sale, cooking demonstrations, food sampling.  11am-2pm, corner of Concord Ave. and Market St. 
  • Downtown Fall Fest on Market Street, noon to 4 (seems like mostly a family thing.  But, honestly, festivals to report on get a little sparse as the weather gets cold, so I'm working with what I've got.  See the details, here).
  • Showings at Theatre N. http://www.theatern.org/Films
  • 3rd Delaware Futures 5k in Wilmington. Details.

Band shows:

Friday:

  • Mean Lady and Atlas at Homegrown (luckily no cheeky misappropriations of other people's causes in this flyer).  All ages, 9:30pm, FREE.

Saturday:

  • Mason Porter and Ben Smith at the Kennett Flash. 8pm, $15.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday:

  • Pixies at the Grand.  It's sold out (although it took a lot longer to sell out than I thought it would).  But you can find tickets on Craigslist.  Trust me.
