Happy Thursday! True confession: I’m not much of a sports fan. This year I forgot to even fill out a bracket, so March Madness has pretty much passed me by. I’m generally into pop culture, so it’s not really like me to be totally out of touch when it comes to something so zeitgeist-y, but at this point I probably couldn’t name with any real certainty a team which is still in the tourney. Oh well, c’est la vie.

Whether you’re a sports fan or not, there’s plenty to go crazy for this weekend. Below are a few suggestions of ways to spend your next few days. Got an event you think everyone should know about?
