Six things to do in the Triangle this weekend
6 Feb
I wanted to clue you in to some events happening around the Triangle this weekend. Because sometimes we just need something different to do.
1. First Friday is tonight in downtown Raleigh. Here’s a list of participating galleries.
2. Watch people run two miles, down a dozen Krispy Kremes and then run a dozen miles back all for charity. The Krispy Kreme Challenge starts at the N.C. State belltower on Saturday morning, but I recommend watching it from Krispy Kreme on Peace Street, where the runners will be eating and puking.
3. See the circus. Ringling Bros. is in town.
4.Get your passport. You need to have one now to travel anywhere outside the United States. Durham is hosting a passport fair from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at its post office downtown.
5. Celebrate Bob Marley’s birthday. There will be a tribute to him at Cat’s Cradle on Saturday night.
6. Buy some used furniture. The Junior Women’s Club of Raleigh is hosting its annual furniture consignment sale at 1 p.m. Sunday at the State Fairgrounds.
Also, Raleigh-based progressive rock band Pivot (http://www.myspace.com/pivot) is having a concert/CD release party Friday the 6th (tonight!) at Lincoln Theatre. Yours truly will be in attendance.
Urk! The Krispy Krak challengers don’t have to run a dozen miles back, hee! Ooops, I mean Krispy Kreme.
I clicked on the consignment sale link and the website says it was on Feb. 1. I’m confused.

You are so right and I am so sorry. I’m not sure how I got this mixed up, but I’m so bummed. We had planned on going Sunday to look for a new desk and turns out it was last weekend. I hope it didn’t ruin any of your weekend plans.
No, no plans were ruined. I would totally be into going to this type of thing though, so if you hear of another one, please do post! Thanks!
