Weekend Distractions

Thanksgiving is over, thank God! Now, you can get back to wasting money, time and brain cells in ways that don’t involve Aunt Erma. Ideas:

1. Hit the Crossroads for unique Black Friday shopping. Check out the sales at the world-class hosiery boutique Seduzione Leggs.

2. Take a walk. The sculpture garden at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art will be lit up for romantic strolling from 5 to 9 tonight.

3. Get turned on by the WordSexy poetry reading at Czar Bar tonight.

4. Pick a side! KU plays MU at Arrowhead on Saturday.

5. Get an autograph! Ralphie’s not available, but some other cast members from the movie A Christmas Story will sell their John Hancocks on Saturday afternoon at UMKC’s Spencer Theatre.
