2. Fizzgig is playing its final show, after many years of entertaining the local music scene.

3. Marvin's Organic Gardens hosts thinkGreen, an event featuring food from restaurants such as the environmentally friendly Veg Head, information about recycling, music and a petting zoo with animals from Sunrock Farms.

4. Comedian Mike Epps, who has kept folks laughing on "Def Comedy Jam" and in movies such as "Next Friday," brings his act to the Taft Theatre.

5. Celebrate legendary folk musician Woody Guthrie during Woodyfest at the College of Mount St. Joseph. The Tillers and Jake Speed will perform.
More ideas for a good time:

• Classic rockers Styx, who've maintained a steady 100-shows-a-year pace for the last decade, are playing at the Belterra Casino. Do you prefer jazz? Cincinnati vibraphone virtuoso King "Fruitbowl" Reeves is hosting a recording and film session at the Greenwich in Walnut Hills.

• It's the last day to see "Vigils" at Know Theatre..

• Head to the movies to see Oscar-buzz-stoking "The Soloist," the true story of a homeless, schizophrenic musician whose friendship with Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez inspired Lopez to write a book that in turn inspired the film. Also new in theaters? "Obsessed," starring singer-actress Beyoncé Knowles and "Heroes" star Ali Larter. And if you want to make it dinner and a movie, check out these local dining deals.

• Here's some free, fun events you can do this weekend, from celebrating Bearcats Pride Day to taking in the Art and Poetry Fair at Findlay Market. This weekend also is your last chance to see several local attractions, including the "Race: Are We So Different" exhibit and the Cincinnati Flower Show.

Seriously?? A Cyclones Game 2 gets top billing and UC's Spring Game doesn't even get mentioned? You would think that Bearcat Pride Day at Findlay Market might tip them off that there might just be something going on at UC.

The first thing I noticed when I opened this was Mike Epps. He's not funny.
