We keep waiting for it to happen: A total event-slowdown. It’s hot – who has the energy to organize? Luckily, plenty of folks do. Metromix has lots of weekend options, from club events to staying in air-conditioning.

Events. Competing Friday events mean you have to make a tough choice. At Club Congress, the Found Magazine tour sees the guys from the publication dedicated to found notes and photos presenting some recent finds and singing songs based on them. Or, if a pool party is more your speed, the Parasol Project art collective is taking over the Flamingo Hotel for an homage to kitsch they’re calling Atomic #10. Yet another Friday option is the Snakebite film fest, for which locals make short films based on some pretty odd (and random) stipulations. And, for a summary of all our picks for the weekend, head to our Weekend Hit List.

Movies. Our weekend Quick Reviews roundup offers a speedy lowdown on what to see, what to avoid.

TV. Check out our Weekend Watchin’ feature to see our picks for best TV bets. Premiering Sunday is HBO’s “Hung,” about a male prositute. In the spirit (as always!), we have a photo gallery of favorite male gigolos from film and TV.

Have fun – and stay cool!
