We have three big events going on locally this weekend, and lots of little events, so basically there’s lots of STUFF TO DO in Charleston and the rest of the Mountain State over the next few days so you can just read below and find out all about it.
With the temperatures finally falling a bit below the tropical level, outdoor festivals are winding down, but there will still be outdoor events, so I will continue to implore you to not be a dick and vape or smoke around other humans who may not share your addictions. Lots of folks get really sick when exposed to that garbage.
As I have been copying and pasting for some time now, this a good time to remind you that THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE LIST OF EVENTS. It’s just a starting point, so don’t expect anything comprehensive, and if you feel strongly about me leaving anything out, feel free to mention it in the comments. And if you have a show that you’d like to plug in the future, contact me via Social Media at Facebook or Twitter.
FestivFall begins Friday, and runs through October 20. You’ll see graphics for some events below, but you can find the full schedule HERE.
TsubasaCon is happening this weekend at The Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center. This huge celebration of Anime, Gaming and other cool stuff moved to Charleston from Huntington a few years ago, and is always a treat for the later generation of nerdy folks like me. We have a few related events listed below, but you can find the full details for the show HERE.
Funktafest happens Saturday at Ritter Park in Huntington, and you can see the poster for it right here…
There are several benefits in the works to help people who were in the path of the recent hurricanes in the South. Be aware that these benefit shows are out there, and that the organizers are too busy to get the information out to me in time for this post. Seek and give.
Live Music is on tap at Taylor Books. There is no cover charge, and shows start at 7:30 PM. This week’s shows are not yet announced. Think of it as “blind box” musical entertainment.
As always, The World Famous Empty Glass Cafe has some great stuff this week to tell you about. Thursday at 5:30 PM, Swingstein & Robin return with Hot Cub stylings for a good cause. Later on Thursday, at Shayar & Krooshal Force inhabit the Glass. Friday Tim Courts holds down the forts for Happy Hour. Sunday at 9 PM Widely Grown come down from New Jersey to mop the floors of the Glass with Americana. Check the graphics dump below for more weekend events at The Empty Glass.
Please remember that the pandemic is still not entirely over yet. It’s a going concern with the ‘rona still lurking about all robust and reinvigorated and now with Tiny Time Capsules™. Plus there are nasty seasonal allergies, Jumping Goofball Billionaires, stray fly balls, folks looking for the Spirit Arbor Day store and other damned good reasons to be careful. Many people who have very good reasons are still wearing masks, and many of us, understandably, are still nervous about being in crowds, masked or not. Be kind and understanding while you’re out.
Keep in mind that all shows are subject to change or be cancelled at the last minute.
Here we go, roughly in order…
