Weekend Warrior, September 9 – 11

OK, maybe today’s current weather has us feeling optimistic about this weekend. After all, you can’t live in fear of 30% chance of scattered thunderstorms. Right? So our Weekend Warrior pick will be taking place this Saturday at the ultra-rad Tiberino Museum, “the coolest outdoor art gallery/complex/museum you’ve [n]ever seen!!” You’ll be treated to the beautiful synthpop stylings of Instamatic and jangly feel good indie pop of Conversations with Enemies along with DJs Shawn Ryan, Peter Dragontail, Aaron Ruxbin, and BHB providing the rest of the soundtrack for your evening at the magical venue. Be prepared for a little sensory overload! Now, let’s just hope the weather forecasters dropped the ball on this weekend too. Ellen Powell Tiberino Museum, 3819 Hamilton St., 8pm, $5, All Ages
