By the time this weekend rolls around, we’ll be two weeks shy of Spring. I, for one, have been counting down the days ever since December 21, so T minus two weeks seems like reason to celebrate. On that note, here’s where to party, while spend wisely. Gotta save up for sandals and sunscreen, right?

This is not just any weekend; this weekend brings both Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day, so pace yourselves, people. Lots of budget-friendly shows here to help you do just that.
It’s still January, but what with the warmer temps and glut of shows it feels like the year is really taking off. (As illustrated here by Moonlight Bride. Read on to see where they’re playing.) So much so that this edition of Shoestring gets a Thursday start and runs all weekend, with art openings, theatrical readings, a brewery anniversary and loads of budget-friendly music.
Here’s your weekly roundup of what budget-friendly events (mostly music this time) are happening around the area. Know of other shows with a $5 or less cover charge? Add them in the comments section.
