Love the logo.

There’s quite a lot to do this weekend, that is, if your cash-strapped ass isn’t hurting too much from the recesh. Here’s CornellWatch’s picks:

Friday, Feb 27th

Big Red Relief Concert. 7:30pm, Bailey Hall.

Come see performances from some of CU’s crowd-pleasingest groups, including Bhangra (Indian dance-y fun stuff), Cayuga’s Waiters (crooners of “We Didn’t Go to Harvard”), and Absolute Zero (gravity-defying break-dancers). Tickets $9 at baileytickets.com. All benefits go to Action Against Hunger, a nonprofit dedicated to alleviating global starvation and poverty.

Saturday, Feb 28th

Luda and Shawnna. 8pm, Barton Hall.

Self-explanatory. Tickets are sold out, so expect 5,000+ students, townies, and IC-ers stripper-dancing and staining Cornell’s long-standing tradition of piety and anti-licentiousness.

Filthy Gorgeous. 10pm-2am, WSH Memorial Room.

Come turn the Straight into the Gay for one night only. 200+ queers and friends of the queers will be gayin’/lezzin’/transin’ out with Chi Chi La Rue, famed drag queen/gay porn director. Tickets $5 at the door, $4 if you show your Luda stub.

Sunday, Mar 1st

Australian Art and Culture. 1pm-4pm, Johnson Museum.

Performances, guided tours, children’s activies and regional cuisine, all from Down Under. Free and open to public. (Except to New Zealanders. Stay the fuck out, kiwis.)

CU Music: Cornell Orchestras. 3pm-4:30pm, Bailey Hall.

Cello Concerto with winning cellist from fifth annual Concerto Competition. Free and open to public.

Credit is due to the Daily Sun’s Red Letter Daze, from whom I stole a number of these events/descriptions.
