This weekend

Anchorage

• A Three Veils weekend at Out North as our favorite local theater & arts house brings filmmaker Rolla Selbak and actress Sheetal Sheth to Anchorage for a house party/barbecue, a film workshop, and a special screening of Rolla’s film Three Veils, in which Sheetal stars.

• The Loud and PROUD all ages dance on Friday, also at Out North, promises a night of exceptional music and exceptional people. Make a night of it! — attend the Three Veils house party/barbecue, & then stay over & kick up your heels!

• The Alaska Run For Women, starting Saturday morning from the Sullivan Arena, is the third largest all-women’s run in the U.S, with a record 7,100 participants in its 2010 run. All funds raised by this annual run are used in the fight against breast cancer.

• “The Sound of Fairview” Block Party 2011, courtesy Fairview Community Council, will rock the Fairview neighborhood with great music & lots of family fun. And just what are the Friday Night Divas doing out on a Saturday afternoon?!!!  This isn’t a “gay” event, but it is a gay-and-everybody-else-inclusive event — just what every neighborhood & community event should be.

• Jay Her’s Comedy Hypnosis Show at Mad Myrna’s Saturday night promises another crazy night of hypnotic havoc.

• Anchorage loves drag, and we’ve got the weekends to prove it with Mad Myrna’s Friday Night Diva Variety Show on — guess what — Friday night; and Kodiak Bar & Grill’s Lip Gloss Review on Saturday night. The Crazy Horse’s Illusions Show (formerly Illusions of Delusion) has switched to an earlier time slot, now on Saturday nights only: check our calendar or the Facebook event page for details.
