Weekend Out - February 5-7, 2010

This weekend is fully loaded with fun things to do like the RJD2 homecoming/DoneWaiting.com anniversary show at Skully's, free Asobi Seksu acoustic show at Kenyon College, and Mardi Gras celebrations at a number of clubs. In addition, there are many ways to help support the local LGBT community including the Equality Happy Hour event at Union and the Ohio Mayhem Hockey Team Fundraiser at Score Bar. Besides all these great activities competing for your attention though, Ohio is up against a Winter Storm Warning with a heavy snow flow forecast ahead as well. If you can't find your way out, Zombieland made its DVD/BD debut this week, so that's good for an hour and a half of some of the finest entertainment 2009 film had to offer.
