First things first, this is your reminder that Mother’s Day is on Sunday. Whether your mom politely refuses to acknowledge your sexuality or (alternatively) enjoys discussing episodes of The Real L Word in far too much detail, chances are she deserves a shout out this weekend. I’m not your mom, but if I were I’d at least like a phone call or chocolate or whatever quirky original gift you can make, you crafty homo. And while I’m at it, I’m also going to remind you to fit some of these extracurricular events into your calendar and to stop teasing your brother…
THURSDAY
- Peter Bjorn and John + Bachelorette play Paradise Rock Club tonight. Details: Paradise Rock Club. 967 Commonwealth Ave., Boston. 8pm/doors. TIX-$20+. 18+.
- Boston has three Thursday party options to help you get your weekend started early. Queeraoke at Midway Cafe, G.T.L. at the Harvard Square Tommy Doyle’s and Karaoke Thursday at Machine. Check event websites for details.
FRIDAY
- Guerrilla Queer Bar hits up Fenway tonight, one of the crew’s favorite neighborhoods. Venue details will be posted on the group’s website by Thursday. Arrive early to avoid the line! Details: TBA. Fenway. 9pm. 21+.
SATURDAY
- Come watch local gay rugby team, The Boston Ironsides, take on Old Gold today at Moakley Field. Details: Moakley Field. 600 William J. Day Blvd., South Boston. 1pm.
- Uh Huh Her plays Brighton Music Hall tonight with Diamonds Under Fire. Do your best to avoid shouting “ALICE!!!” to Leisha Hailey all night. That probably gets old fast. Details: Brighton Music Hall. 158 Brighton Ave., Allston. 9pm. $17+.
- Shuttavac’s twice-monthly party Kiss N’ Bang goes country this weekend. Judging by the event promo, we’re thinking it will (thankfully) be more Coyote Ugly than Keith Urban. Details: RCC. 44 Mezzeo Drive, Randolph. 9pm-2am. $5 before 10:30pm, $8 after. 21+.
SUNDAY
- Art school dropouts and day drinkers alike are invited to Dr. Sketchy’s (Anti-Art School Burlesque) Life Drawing Session in Allston today. Details: Great Scott. 1222 Commonwealth Ave., Allston. 2:30pm. 18+.
