Cleveland Yuppie

If none of the weekend Beer Week events are up your alley, here are a few other sweet-sounding options:

All Weekend

Con on the Cob
All weekend long Con on the Cob will take place at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center in Hudson. A geeky convention to the core, Con on the Cob is a “celebration of games, art, freaks & fun” and features gaming, LAN tournaments, sci-fi events, anime, cult films and more.  Ticket information on the site is based on early registration, but if I understand it correctly, tickets are $25 per day or $40 for a full conference pass. (ish)

Friday

Ingenuity Fest Focus Group
Tonight, 5:30-7:30 PM at the Lakewood Park Pavilion, chat with Ingenuity organizers and other community members about how to make next year’s event (the 6th annual Ingenuity Fest) a success. Check out some of the work from festivals past and give your feedback about what you loved, what you didn’t and what you want to see more of.  Free event. Refreshments will be served.

Best of Cleveland Party
As you may have seen, this week’s Scene magazine featured its annual Best of Cleveland article. Celebrate our city and partake in its greatness tonight at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame starting at 7 PM. Sample some of our best foods and libations, check out the Rock Hall exhibits and mingle with all the other cool kids in town.

• General admin tix are $30 in advance/$40 at the door (party + exhibits, plus 2 beverage tickets and select access to food.)
• VIP access is $80 advance/$90 at the door (same as above, plus access to the VIP lounge, special food selections including Sushi Rock and Lilly Handmade Chocolates, access to mini makeovers from Spa West and a swag bag)

Saturday

Fall Art
C Town Art Party is hosting its Fall Art event tomorrow starting at 5 PM at 3700 Clark Avenue, where they will have transformed a former meat-packing plant into a hip urban art gallery.  (Unfortunately, ticket info for this even is pretty non-existent)

There you have it. Have a good weekend, C-town!
