Friday
 · Music round-up: Brandi Carlile and Gran Bel Fisher at the El Rey; Boyz II Men (!!) at the House of Blues; Brazilian Girls at Avalon.
· Sickies Neil Campbell and Paul Rust tell the story of "two teenage brothers run away from home and discover a valuable lesson: Sometimes growing up ... doesn't involve any actual physical growth at all" at the UCB.
Saturday
 · Blogger/author/bon vivant Paul Davidson signs The Lost Blogs, which finally lets us know what it would've been like if blogging technology was available to Jesus (hint: the New Testament, but with more verses about how much He loved his cats) and other historical figures, at the Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica.
· The Roxy hosts the US Air Guitar Championships, which for a few shining hours will make that venue the world capital of embarrassing facial expressions that should never be seen out of the context of private sex acts.
Sunday
 · It's Mother's Day. If you aren't spending the day putting aside the psychology issues that she inflicted on you by taking her to brunch (or to fancy tea), you can at least have the decency to stay home and think about your scarring upbringing.
