Coffee Fest Calhoun Square	Sat., November 21, 10:00am-3:00pm	Uptown/ Eat Street	Festivals Food & Drink
Where would we be without coffee? Probably shaking and crying in bed while trying to put on socks using only our feet. A day without coffee and caffeine in general is like a day without Chapstick: painful. And though too much of it makes us all jittery and wonky-eyed, as with any quirky friend,... More >>

Do It Green: Green Gifts Fair Midtown Global Market	Sat., November 21, 10:00am-5:00pm	Powderhorn	Chanukah Christmas Expos Festivals
The least green time of the year is wailing down upon us once again, and that's not just a reference to the complete lack of chlorophyll: 'Tis the season for endless appeals to shop, quickly discarded gift wrap, and environmental excesses of all kinds. Hosted by Do It Green! magazine... More >>

Minnesota RollerGirls All-Stars vs. Hammer City Rollergirls Roy Wilkins Auditorium	Sat., November 21, 7:30pm	St. Paul (Downtown)	Sports - Spectator

Geologic, Sandra Garcia Rivera The Loft Literary Center	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Literary Events Poetry

Dafnis Prieto Sextet Walker Art Center	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Music
Cuban-born and -educated drummer and composer Dafnis Prieto has increasingly made a name for himself since taking up residency in New York a decade ago. A blazingly dexterous virtuoso master of the drum kit, he's played with dozens of premier Latin and jazz players, ranging from Henry... More >>

Hollows Nomad World Pub	Sat., November 21, 9:00pm	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Music
Mixing '60s girl-pop vocals with ghoulish organ lines, the Chicago ladies (and boy) of Hollows have created a warped, modern Motown, even including a razor edge of punk. (Imagine the Shangri-Las with tattoos and master's degrees in Brass Knuckle Utilization.) Most songs start with cutesy,... More >>

The Trashmen Turf Club	Sat., November 21, 9:00pm	Macalester/Groveland	Music
When you get namedropped in a Pynchon novel -- as the Trashmen were in this year's Inherent Vice -- maybe that's enough to transcend all the one-hit-wonder jokes people make about your band. But getting to play a packed homecoming at one of the city's great club venues isn't half bad, either,... More >>

SOLD OUT: Brother Ali First Avenue	Sat., November 21, 5:00pm more dates/times	Minneapolis (Downtown)	Music
Striking though his categorical attributes might be, what makes Minnesota's best-known white albino Muslim rapper great is the swinging, preacherly sonorousness of his voice and how he puts it to intimate use when talking about "us"—as in, whoever is identifying with what he's saying. He's... More >>
