10 things to do for $10 this weekend, June 24-26, 2011

Summertime

​We've passed the Summer Solstice already, which means the season is in full swing with the blazing hot sun, outdoor parties and a nice, easily maneuverable city to cruise around in. That's a good thing for this weekend, because there is a ton of stuff going down in a variety of places; from bike-in movies to playing with miniatures, we've got you covered no matter what type of activities you're partial to.

​Steamed at TACtile Textile Arts Center (Friday, $5)
If there's one thing we can say about steampunk, it's that it has some of the wildest fashions we've ever seen. We're particularly fond of the tiny hats, but crazed corsets and bloomers certainly tickle our fancy as well. If it does for you too, we'd certainly suggest hitting up the Steamed fashion show tonight.

​Erica Jong at Tattered Cover Colfax Avenue (Friday, free)
Sugar in my Bowl: Real Women Talk About Real Sex is a collection of -- well, stories about women's sex lives. That should be readily apparent from the title, really. To celebrate the book, editor Erica Jong will be in town reading from and talking it up. We can only guess that the Q&A portion is going to be an awesome thing to witness.

​Clips of Faith at Boulder Central Park (Friday, free)
Clips of Faith is all about short films and beer. Seriously, is there any better combination you can possibly think of? How about we toss in some beer tasting and a competitive drink-off, then? Now things are getting good. Of course, these films aren't just about anything, they're about craft beer and sustainability, two things that people venture up to Boulder to check out even when there isn't a free film screening involved.

​! Women Art Revolution at Denver FilmCenter (Friday, $9.75)
If short films about beer aren't really your thing, maybe a documentary about woman artists will be. ! Women Art Revolution is a film about just that, documenting years of the female artist movement, from obscurity through relative obscurity and beyond.

​Light and Line at Ice Cube Gallery @ Dry Ice Factory (Friday, free)
Two artists will be showing off two entirely different types of works at Ice Cube today: One is an instillation using only fishing wire and the other uses photographs pieced together to make two- and three-dimensional objects. It should be a diverse and interesting show -- just be careful not to get stuck in the fishing line.
