It’s a beautiful world in Iowa City. Especially when we’re all doing our part to 1) Save the environment, and 2) Keep the art alive by going out to look at it, buy it, enjoy it and dance to it. Fortunately there are plenty of opportunities to do all of that this weekend. Here’s a checklist to help you make sure you have your fair share of the fun!

Big Boi. For FREE. Need I say more? This is a true hip-hop legend and you should not miss it. NOTE: Due to rain this week, the field at Hubbard Park is too wet for the stage and the 1,000s of dancing feet looking forward to converging on Hawkapalooza this evening. So the show has been moved indoors, to the IMU main lounge.

Welcome to the weekend, fair Weekenders! If you own a house, cheers to you. If you don’t, you are most likely moving this weekend. Where to? Probably within a couple of blocks from where you live now.
Why? Why do we do this? I don’t know, tradition, I guess.
