Hey guys, you know what’s coming up soon? I’ll give you a hint: it’s about two and a half days, and occurs at the end of every week. There’s your big clue. The end of the week. Also known as…? No. Not Endweek. That’s absurd.

Yes! The weekend is nearly here! Feel free to let your schoolgirl screams and tears of joy flow now. You get one good cry in life, and you’ve chosen wisely.

So, without beating around the bush any longer, here’s what’s going down this weekend on the Denver Lowdown. Events brought to you by the lovely people at EveryBlock.

Friday:

First Friday Art Walk: The Golden Triangle

Ah, First Friday, where all the sexy art stuff comes together once a month to strut its stuff. This month’s Art Walk will take place in The Golden Triangle District, where you’ll wander galleries, check out the beautiful and the bizarre, and enjoy a few delicious libations to keep your spirits up (get it? eh?). What was once a cluster of single-family Victorians and bungalows, the Golden Triangle has turned into a happening mix of residential and commercial featuring some of Denver’s hippest spots. You’ll check out some highlights such as Native American Trading Company (1301 Bannock St), The Shops at 9th Avenue (899 Broadway), Walker Fine Art (300 W 11th Ave), Paper Clouds Studio (136 W 12th Ave), and many more. // 5:30, Free, The Living Room, 1055 Broadway.

Watch “Into the Woods” in the Woods!

There aren’t too many options for those of us who desperately want to spend our summers outside yet only want to watch movies. And since drive-ins are apparently only for people born before 1970 (I heard what that stupid bullying sorority girl said behind my back) there’s very little for us outdoorsy-moviegoers. That is, until the historic Elitch Theatre began offering summer movies outside on the green. For August, the theatre obtained exclusive rights as the outdoor site this summer for the recent first run music “Into the Woods.” So, now you can finally watch “Into the Woods,” in the woods! Well, not literally, but there’s grass so… close enough? // 7 p.m., $5, Historic Elitch Garden Theater, 4655 W 37th Ave.

FREE Energy Clearings/Tarot Card Readings

First Friday isn’t always about art (those damn pretentious creative types…). Sometimes you need something a little more, how you say, rejuvenating? This First Friday, there’s a special opportunity to get a FREE Energy/Aura Clearing by the Yoga of the Mind Healing Team and/or a Tarot Card Reading. Let go of the physical world and put your faith into the universe via chakra tuning and tarot card reading. Hopefully you won’t end up with the Ten of Swords like I did… // 5:30 p.m., $10 for Tarot Reading, otherwise free, Inspire Life Studio, 938 W 8th Ave.

Saturday:

Paint Wine Denver Lighthouse

Do you enjoy painting but only seem to have talent after a glass or two of Pinot Noir? Well, then Sipping N’ Painting Hampden Denver is your kinda jam, where they believe art is for everyone, the you should use both sides of your brain, and that in doing so you become more creative in relationships, your community, and in problem solving (also a glass or six of wine doesn’t hurt either) // 3 p.m., $35, Sipping N’ Painting Hampden, 6300 E. Hampden Ave.

Starting Your Own Business: Lessons From the Small Business Association

Summer Selections Photography Show

Because we all can’t get enough of art, we’re excited to share this next event. The Robert Anderson Gallery is proud to present its 2015 Summer Selections Group Show. This show will feature images from 13 talented photographers. Each photographer will show a curated selection images in a series of mini-galleries. Their work encompasses a wide variety of geographic locales from New York City to Myanmar. // 11 a.m., Free, Robert Anderson Gallery, 2426 E. 3rd Ave.

Sunday:

Free Reiki Sessions with Kayla Dakota

What the hell is Reiki, you ask? Well, a Reiki practitioner channels energy through his or her hands to activate a natural healing process within a person and often restores physical and emotional well-being. If you’re into all that hippie-dippie nonsense, professional Reiki practitioner Kayla Dakota offers Heart of Service Reiki sessions this Sunday. Sessions are by appointment so call it in, folks. // 11 a.m., suggested donation, People House, 3035 W. 25th Ave.

Pool Party!

Overlooking 60 beautiful acres of lake and the Rocky Mountains, the Riviera is quite possibly the only open to the public poolside lounge in Colorado. Offering a casual lounge experience with a sophisticated design that proudly offers luxury, privacy, and comfort. Oh, and food, can’t forget about the food. There’s also an exclusive lake and marina, athletic club, café, pools, hot tubs, massage therapy, recycle centers, and much, much more. At the Breakers Resort, you can live like you’re on vacation every day. This Sunday, check out the 303 Magazine Pool Party at this beautiful spot. // 11 a.m., $30, Riviera at the Breakers Resort, 9099 E. Mississippi Ave.

Drop-In Volleyball at the Park

“Wait, where are the active events? I wanna work up a sweat this weekend!” Relax, buddy, I’ve got something for you. This Sunday at Eisenhower Park, ACTIV8 SPORTS is hosting a volleyball drop-in day in the park. There will be courts for competitive play for those of us who just have to win, and recreational courts for those who don’t care if we look foolish or lose. Everyone is welcome, bring your friends! // 2 p.m., $5 suggested, Eisenhower Park, S. Colorado Boulevard & East Dartmouth Avenue.

Ya’ll ready for this crazy, art-filled, fortune-telling, small business-learning, athletic, jack-of-all-trades kinda weekend? I know I am. So, let’s get down to it and blow all the doors off this weekend! Not, like, literally. It’s just an expression.
