If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, I suggest staying in and making a pinata. Pinatas are fun and easy to make. I’ve been a professional pinata maker going on 4 years, I’ve had many people purchase my goods and I have yet to find a unsatisfied customer. However, If you’d like to get outside this weekend instead of making something with your own hands that everyone in your family can enjoy, then I suggest hitting up any or all of the events listed below.

This Saturday, The Physics are having a CD release party for Tomorrow People, it’s their 3rd full length LP and it’s one that you should definitely have in your record collection. Thig, with the help of Justo on the beat, explains what you can expect from the evening in the video below with what I can only guess is a freestyle rap.
