This Friday is the second Friday of the month, and you know what that means… Trenton2Nite! This week’s events include a free yoga class, an opening at Gallery 125, music and spoken-word performances at The Phoenix, and more, including, as always, the Scrabble throwdown at Classics Books. See the full schedule here.
Here are a few other things you can do this weekend instead of raking all those leaves. (Leaf pick-up in Trenton goes until December 20, so why do today what you can put off until next month?)
- Do you knit? Crochet? Are you willing to do it in public? Trenton’s Knit and Stitch group has its biweekly meeting at Classics Books (117 South Warren St) on Saturday at noon.
- Also at Classics Books, the young adult book club discusses the Newbery-Award-winning Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata at 11:00 a.m., and then at 2:00 the grown-ups can join a discussion led by author Jeffrey Perry about Hubert Harrison (1883-1911), agitator, founder of the “New Negro” movement, editor of Negro World, and the principal influence on the Garvey movement. Details on all Classics events on their Facebook page.
- A new dual-artist exhibit opens at the Trenton City Museum (Ellarslie) on Saturday, November 14: The Wall Series by Bruce Rigby and the Sculpture of Elizabeth Miller-McCue. Opening reception Saturday from 7:00 to 9:00 pm (members and artists only from 6:00-7:00).
- We mentioned this last week, but it bears repeating…the Passage Theatre Company presents Blood: A Comedy, a story about an atheist professor who loses tenure for trying to teach intelligent design, and then decides to try to make her entire dysfunctional family get religion. Hijinx, presumably, ensue. Thursday-Saturday 8:00 pm, Sunday 3:00 pm, through November 22. Tickets $25-$30.
- The New Jersey State Museum’s planetarium shows are free on Saturday (and every second Saturday of the month). Free! We said free!
- Dancing horses! The famous Lipizzaner Stallions will be at the Sovereign Bank Arena on Sunday, November 15 at 2:00 pm. Tickets from $22.50.
