Get Out: Five Ideas For Your Weekend of Aug. 19-21

Achieve the impossibly awesome this weekend.

This weekend, the impossible is possible. You can go back in time to 1955, then 1991. You can head to Oz in your own backyard, shake hands with the actual Steve Madden and finish it off with a delicous meal that's one hundred percent vegan.

Our goal is to make the Get Out planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute. We advise calling ahead just in case.

When/Where: 8 p.m. this Friday at the

Why Go: Wilson Phillips' perfectly-blended voices will ring out live at this concert. You can sing along to songs such as "Hold On," "You're in Love" and "Release Me." Their recent appearance in "Bridesmaids" alone is enough to remind fans why this early '90s all-girl group still rules.

Pricing: $36-68

When/Where: 8:15 p.m. this Friday at

Why Go: Teens, tweens and families are invited to this free outdoor movie night. For those of you who saw this classic in the theater, try not to think about the fact that if they remade it now, the DeLorean would head back to 1981. I can't handle that. At least you can feel like a kid again. Grown-ups and kids of all ages are welcome, there is plenty of room. 

Pricing: Free

To call this "rag" a newspaper is a joke. They only put partial truths, always sided to aRead More covert friend of the writer and never have done the background investigation to be able to establish validity!
