If all you care about is nugs, chillin’ and
grindage, you’re in luck this
weekend because Mr. Pauly Shore is in town. Grab your purple headscarf and
wheeze a little ju-uice then head to the Levee Funny Bone
Friday and Saturday. Shore is touring in
support of his upcoming comedy special, PAULY~TICS, which will be released Nov. 6. In this special,
Shore talks shop with Herman Cain, Barney Frank, Ralph Nader and other
politicos. Shore has reportedly already been sighted at the Newport Hooter’s, so stick
around the Levee for your chance to meet the one and only Weasel.
The City Flea moves from Washington Park to
Northside’s American Can Lofts Saturday with Factory Flea.
Shop for all the vintage items, furniture, artwork and other goodies City Flea
fans have come to expect in the ground-floor interior space of the American Can building.
Food trucks and other vendors will also be on-site outside. The Factory Flea
runs 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
If you’re looking for a few good books to curl up
with this fall, swing by Duke Energy Convention Center Saturday for Books By
The Banks. Bibliophiles of all sorts can meet more than 100 local, regional and
national authors, purchase a wide variety of books, sit in on panel sessions
and even check out cooking demos. There’s also a kids’ corner for young readers
to enjoy storytime, performances and more. Admission is free; find details here.
With Halloween
around the corner and The Walking Dead
having just premiered, it’s the perfect time for Saturday’s Cincinnati Zombie
Walk. Hoards of local undead (well, people
in zombie makeup) will meet at The Freedom Center at 7:30 p.m. then split into
two routes winding around downtown and meeting back up at Fountain Square, where
a free after-party will take place from 9:30-11:30 p.m. The crawl is free, but
all are encouraged to bring a canned good or two to donate to the Freestore
Foodbank. Donations will be collected at the beginning of the crawl and on
Fountain Square.
Cincinnati Open
Design Event (CODE)
is an inaugural showcase of local style-, consumer- and entertainment-based
design. The event kicked off Wednesday and continues Friday and Saturday with
panel discussions on each aspect of design, happy hour events and more, all
culminating with Saturday’s Freelance Market (11 a.m.-4 p.m.) and the Chaser
Finale fashion show (7-10 p.m.) featuring designs by Amy Kirchen, Kristy
Nguyen, Jovani and Project Runway’s
Althea Harper.

When filmmaker George Romero directed 1968’s Night of the Living Dead,
he surely had no clue zombies would turn into a cultural phenomenon.
While tons of horror films give way to camp, sex or bad special effects,
Living Dead remains a classic and has prompted a cult of the zombie-obsessed.

Somebody sure wanted a blockbuster No. 1 opening weekend for their new album. Along with the months-long promotional lead-up to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way album, sales for the release received an extra boost when Amazon made it available for 99 cents.
