Glad You Asked: Your Weekend To-Dos
Posted By Colin Wolf on April 5, 2013, 1:00 AM
Dear GYA, I hereby proclaim that Jurassic Park 3D will be a complete waste of my time this weekend. There, I said it. Why does Hollywood insist on remaking every damned movie into 3-D? Third dimension! Hey, everybody, we've got a third dimension over here! See, nobody cares. Anything happening this weekend better than seeing a 3-D pile of triceratops shit? - Marcus Bromentine, Midvale---
Marcus, Jurassic Park is an American classic. Personally, I'd love to see Samuel L. Jackson say, "Hold onto your butts" in 3-D. But if that;s not your thing, here's what's up this weekend. Let's start with Friday:
- Ballet West's presentation of Jewels will be happening at the Capitol Theatre, beginning at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $19 to $80.
- Faustina will be hosting an evening of jazz music called Les Groove Artistes, which means "jazz music." The show starts at 8.
- Head to the Woodshed for an evening of sweet chick bands entitled Ladies That Rock. The lineup inlcudes Minx, Bombshell Academy and The Wild Ones. The show starts at 9.
