There’s all kinds of stuff happening this weekend, if you’re looking for something fun to do in Ashvegas. Seems like we got it all:

You can go see the new Bond movie.

You can play the new PlayStation3 you stood in line for three days to buy.

You can go to the annual Christmas parade downtown.

You can party at a pnav.

You can go see a big country concert tonight, Friday. Blake Shelton, the PovertyNeck Hillbillies, Rodney Adkins and Gary Allen are at the Civic Center.

At the Orange Peel on Friday, you can see Cat Power. On Saturday night at the peel, you can see Ziggy Marley. And on Sunday, there’s Joan Jett.

A hot mandolin player, Chris Thile of Nickel Creek, stops by the Grey Eagle on Sunday.

There’s the big Tellabration story-telling festival at the Folk Art Center on Sunday.

Feeling charitable? Donate a coat for the Coats for Cold giveaway that’s happening Saturday. Or give a turkey to the church in West Ashvegas that’s giving away 100 turkeys Saturday.

Whew. Go have fun.
