We Still Like You: Denver #8
Comedy RoomRoom
7 p.m. Friday, free
We all have stories that are pure sin — tales we should take to our graves. However, after this evening of shame-laced comedy, there will be no need to keep those secrets bottled up anymore. Hear the woes of jokesters Harris Alterman, Hannah Duggan, Nancy Norton and more. In between, they'll let members from the audience dish some dirt as well.
Mutiny Mural Melee
Mutiny Information Cafe
9 a.m. Saturday-Sunday, free
The mural on the north side of the Mutiny is one of the most iconic in Denver, and it gets a little addition this weekend. See and interact with artists Vincent Cheap, Jake Fairly and Daniel Crosier as they wrap the rest of the building into the alley with some kind of jazz. Be the first to get that selfie with the new mural up on the ’gram.

Denver Chillfest Colorado Video Games BBQ

11 a.m. Saturday, free
Here's a terrific way to get out of the gaming chair and into the sunshine. Mingle with local gamers, game studios, eSports players and game developers over food and lawn games. Bring a dish to share as we dish on the latest gossip from the local game scene.

Blank Generation
Sie FilmCenter
12 p.m. Saturday, $11
This might be the first time we've had to stretch your pocketbook, but we promise the extra dollar is completely worth it. In celebration of Basquiat Weekend, presented by the MCA, this is really your only chance to be a part of it after other events were sold out or just too pricey. Transport yourself to 1976 New York City, when it was cool and CBGB was the place to be. Patti Smith, the Ramones, the Dolls and many more are featured in the art documentary Blank Generation. There's also a screening of The Foreigner and Wild Style later in the day.

Stories From the Past: Booker T. Washington's Great-Grandson
Pauline Robinson Branch Library

Meet the direct descendant of one of the most influential individuals in our country's history. Booker T. Washington was born during slavery, but rose to become a leader for civil rights and an advisor to the president. Learn more about the man and his mission from family stories and personal photographs that his great-grandson, Eric Hughes, was generous enough to provide.

Book Release: Dave Paco & Sonny Kay
Mutiny Information Cafe
7 p.m. Saturday, free
Get excited to read two new local books at this release party at Mutiny.
