Weekend Distractions

Here’s what we think you should do this weekend:

1. Wander aimlessly around the Crossroads because it’s First Friday. As usual, there’ll be tons of art to gawk at. Plus, there’s a fashion show by Lovesick Clothing happening at Blue Bouquet.

2. Honor a decade of Anodyne Records. Tonight, Czar Bar is the site of the rockin’ anniversary show, featuring Valley Arena, Roman Numerals and Little Brazil.

3. Take in a movie at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. There’s a free screening of the super sexy Mississippi Masala, starring Denzel Washington, on Saturday afternoon.

4. Party like it’s 1955. There’s a Sock Hop happening at the Brick on Saturday night.

This lowrider rolled up for last year’s Wild West Showdown.

5. Hang out with some lowriders. The second annual Wild West Showdown — a block party and car show — hits the West Bottoms, on Union Avenue between Mulberry and Santa Fe, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $1 or free if you bring a canned good.
