Free First Saturday: Rock Out! Walker Art Center	Sat., November 7, 10:00am-3:00pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Art Art - Museums Family Events
This daytime family event would be fun even if it didn't feature a rare reunion performance by American punk pioneers the Suicide Commandos, or a maze of mirrored pavilions created by conceptual-art renaissance man (and punk critic) Dan Graham. As is, the kids' activities—including... More >>

Perfect Parties The Woman's Club of Minneapolis	Sat., November 7, 10:00am-2:00pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Expos Parties & Receptions
Throwing some holiday parties this year? Looking to do something a little more modern or interesting than recreating last year's red wine, popcorn balls, and mistletoe shindig? This event should be on your weekend to-do list then. During this afternoon of pre-party planning, guests can sample... More >>

Crypticon Sheraton Bloomington Hotel	Fri., November 6, 5:00pm-1:00am more dates/times	Edina	Expos Festivals
Halloween was last week, but fans of horror and special-effects makeup are still going strong.

Lisa Landry Acme Comedy Co.	Daily from Tue., November 3 until Sat., November 7, 8:00pm more dates/times	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Comedy
Though she has a toddler, comedian Lisa Landry doesn't talk a whole lot about motherhood onstage. "I try to talk about other things," she says. "It's awesome to have a kid, but there's obviously a lot more going on in the world than diapers and booties." She does admit that her lifestyle has... More >>

Bondage A-Go-Go Ground Zero Niteclub	Every week Saturday, 10:00pm	Northeast	Adult Barhopping
Are you still feeling guilty over that thing you did at your Fourth of July party? Still partying hard this weekend? Ready to go public with your leather fetish?

KISS Target Center	Sat., November 7, 7:30pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Music
Yeah, these guys. No, not the guys, at least technically not the ones you might've bought action figures of in the '70s, or, if you're a speculative collector, the '00s -- Ace Frehley and Peter Criss are still off doing their own thing, their roles filled by Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. (I'm... More >>

The Mountain Goats The Cedar	Sat., November 7, 8:00pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Music
The Mountain Goats' John Darnielle (pictured) is a serious literary type whose songs, stretching back almost two decades, detail human failings, foibles, fears, feints, and fables, sometimes stripping emotion down to its wiring, exposing tragedies inherent in the mundane. For many years he... More >>

Old Crow Medicine Show State Theatre	Sat., November 7, 8:00pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Music
The old-time string band rolls back into town for a show at the State just weeks after their last appearance in the Twin Cities, playing for fan Garrison Keillor, who books them frequently on A Prairie Home Companion. Like that legendary radio show, the music of Old Crow Medicine Show sounds... More >>

Suicide Commandos Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant	Sat., November 7, 11:00pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Music
Should we call this a full-fledged reunion phase for Minneapolis' ur-punk legends? Maybe, since they've had a remarkably active 2009: playing a benefit at Nick & Eddie for the Bush Tetras' Laura Kennedy back in January, another set at the 501 in August that capped a night of side-project debuts...
