Alright people let’s get this over with, we have weekends to plan. It’s Thursday, we’re tired, we’re hungry, and we’ve just about had enough of all this work stuff.

We at The Denver Lowdown and EveryBlock know you don’t always have the time to search around the vast, expansive internet for your weekend activities. So, we’ve done this clever little thing and rounded up a bunch of totally sweet things to do.

Why don’t you sit back and check out what’s going down at the Lowdown.

Friday:

Mobile App Hackathon

Got an idea for an app? Do you need an app built for your business? Do you like all apps all the time? Well, Mobile App Hackathon, an event produced by the AT&T Developer Program, is designed for attendees to build apps, compete for prizes across different categories, network with other app developers, and most importantly, get fed. Be sure to bring your laptop, skills, and ideas and be ready to collaborate with some smart cookies. (photo) // Day One 6 p.m., Day Two 10 a.m., Free, Galvanize Boulder, 1035 Pearl St., 5th Floor.

Let’s check out what’s going down at the Lowdown.

Friday

Auraria Campus Taijiquan (“Tai Chi”)

It’s a little cliché to run straight for happy hour once your workweek ends, so why not relax on a Friday? When’s the last time you did some Tai Chi? Doesn’t matter, because Auraria Campus Tajiquan will work on the first Chen style form, spine and hip alignment, as well as drill movement while rooted. Don’t know what any of that means? That’s OK: This course is for all skill levels.
Whether it’s Tai Chi or Chai Tea, kick your shoes off this Friday and relaaaaaaax. (photo) // 5 p.m., Free, Confucius Institute, 1030 St. Francis Way.
