10 Things to Do for $10 in Denver This Weekend (5 Free!), February 5-7

The Super Bowl will soak up most of the shine on Sunday, and to that, we say Go Broncos! But there are plenty of other ways to have fun as well that don't involve football. This weekend we're cheering on puppies, having some giggles and dancing to the beat of various drums. For even more events, smash that Westword calendar button.

Artist Discussion with Joel Swanson at Museum of Outdoor Arts (2 p.m. Saturday, free)
Technology grows by leaps and bounds every day, and art is always looking to do the same thing. Joel Swanson is keeping his feet in both worlds by using 3D printing technology. You can see his installations on display in the Polysemic exhibit, and today you can have a chat with him as well. The light rail will drop you right where you need to be, so go find out how he uses future tools for art today.    

Mile High Soul Club at Syntax Physic Opera (9 p.m. Saturday, $5)
They do this once a month because it keeps things funky. Call up the squad and then popcorn or mashed-potato your way down to south Broadway. Special guest DJ Reed Wolf, of SpeedWolf fame, will spin the vinyl just as good as he sings the rock-n-roll.

Green Druid at Goosetown Tavern (9 p.m. Saturday, free)
On the flip side of shimmying to the soul music, is all out head banging amp worship. Green Druid, Matriarch and Earthen Tongue will crank the doom riffs up to eleven without you having to paying a cover. Grab a couple brews and rock on out.

Huddle Up at History Colorado Center (10 a.m. Sunday, free)
Before the game, get into the Broncos spirit by taking some very historic selfies. Admission to the museum is free if you wear your orange gear. Try on a replica of the Barrel Mans barrel, sit in an original seat from Mile High Stadium and share your memories on the atrium wall. Don't forget to take a photo with the giant buffalo outside while he's wearing his team jersey. And if you're not into football, you can still get into the museum for free. 

Walk Of Shame Dating Game Valentine's Edition at El Charrito (12 p.m. Sunday, $1)

Make up some nachos, turn on the Animal Planet channel and root them on.
