Mid-Michigan Weekend 10/30

Here's some of the stuff that's going on for the next couple of days that I could find.  Format is event, location, time, price, and a little note about why it might be fun or suck.

Check out our events and attend them.  There's tons of stuff going on around here - figured we'd share it.  Read more after the break about all the stuff including live-tweeting MSU football, free comedy, bad music, and Halloweeny stuff.






Saturday 10/30


MSU @ Iowa Football on ABC  
3:30pm
Watching TV on a cold day is always nice, and our MSU Spartans are 8-0 and 4-0 in the Big Ten (that's really good!).  According to sports statistics and footbally type people this is probably the most challenging game MSU has left this year on our way to try for a Big Ten (and maybe more) Championship.  Look out for Iowa though: they were in the EXACT SAME position as MSU last year when they came to MSU and lost.  They'll be looking for revenge.  Happy Hour will be live-tweeting the game too, so if you need some poorly thought-out comedy commentary, follow @thehhour on Twitter.


Bo Burnham at the Royal Oak Music Theater 
7pm
$25
Bo Burnham is some YouTube dude who sings funny songs and plays piano.  I guess he has songs on the YouTube and a bunch of people thought they weren't awful and let him tour.  I can't think of any reason to go to this show, but I'm a 30 year old man with a mortgage and a riding lawnmower.


L.E.A.K. Halloween at Mac's Bar in Lansing 
9pm
$5
Mac's has one of the worst websites in the entire world, so the only think I know about this event is that there will be some kind of costume contest.  I assume L.E.A.K. is a band, and I also assume it's not metal because I think they had a metal show last night.  Mac's does tend to have relatively cheap beer and a cozy crowd though, and shit only $5.


Comedian Arvin Mitchell at MSU Union Main Lounge 
10pm, 9pm openers
Free
Apparently this guy makes jokes.  He might be funny but I think my baby is waking up and I have to finish this whole post later anyways.  Check him out for free on MSU's tab.  Free comedy is free comedy after all.

Comedian Mike Malone at Connxtions Comedy Club in Lansing
7:30 and 10pm
$15
Apparently this guy also makes jokes.  Again, no idea, but Connxtions tends to have pretty funny acts in.  The difference between $15 comedy and free comedy is the club atmosphere and the lack of many college students.  Always nice to support local opening acts too.


Halloween Light Show at Some Peoples' House near Grand Ledge
7pm-11pm
Free
Seriously.  Some people just put up a ton of lights and animatronic stuff in their yard and put it all to music.  Head out and take a look.  I've seen some Christmassy ones, but never a Halloween one.  It's probably corny and stupid and funny and awesome.  If you go, please take pics and submit them to us for some blog posty goodness.


Sunday 10/31

MSU Women's Basketball Green & White Game at Breslin
3pm
Free
Go support your Women's BBall team for the upcoming season.  Go in costume and have some fun!


Trick or Treating!  at Lansing area
6pm-8pm
Free
Come out to our house if you can find it and trick or treat!  I'll be asking for ID for anyone that looks over 12.  If you are over 12 I will ask you to do some yardwork in exchange for candy.  Or you could just forget about it and make yourself available to give out candy to kids that come knocking on your dorm.  Or go do whatever it is that people like you do on Halloween!
