This weekend might see you anywhere from cautious to stoked, with both Friday the 13th and St. Patrick’s Day festivities coming up. Though we can’t say definitively what luck you’ll have, here are some events in our reader regions we’d put good odds on delivering a memorable time. In Iowa City, the Englert’s Track Zero program continues with the bedroom-pop stylings of Jordana at Gabe’s. In the Quad Cities, the Raccoon Motel hosts the Midwest Queer Showcase with Kat and the Hurricane, Early Girl and Emily the Band. And in Des Moines, HiFi Brew Lounge hosts the Taste Test Burlesque Improv Show, hosted by Mae the Force and Miss Rosie Tempest.
