Where: Shower is outside; party is at South Platte Park (3000 W. Carson Dr, Littleton)

Why you should go: New moon AND a meteor shower with chunks of dust and ice from Halley’s Comet? I can barely handle so much delightfulness in one weekend. Not sure if you’ll even see anything by 9 p.m. Friday — actually, I’m sure you won’t. BUT, there will be a campfire, so who even cares? Allegedly, there too.

Why you should go: A series of workshops to support beginning beekeepers, or if you’re just interesting in bees and honey. Is this a good first date? I think it’s a good first date. What is more romantic than bugs? And that’s not a rhetorical question: nothing.

Calling all bandwaggon fans, here’s your chance to hop on; the train is now loading. I have said this before and I’ll say this again: soccer isn’t a big sport in the U.S., but it is the biggest global sport and most popular in terms of fans. It’s time for us to usher in the golden age of fútbol in America. And NO I AM NOT BEING DRAMATIC.
Waiting on Tim Howard to get here like…
