We’re back with another Weekender of events throughout our reader regions. We know where one music super-fan will be this weekend. Jim Reiners, who attended close to 100 concerts last year, will be at the Englert to see A.J. Croce Thursday. Over in Cedar Falls, the third Lost Woods Festival hosts bands like Charlotte Blu, Dearborn and Hippie Sabotage. Check out our interview with one of the organizers, Salt Fox’s Andy Fuchtman. And in Des Moines, Animal Collective co-founder Panda Bear stops at Wooly’s while on their North American tour.
