DABC's Melt Yer Faceoff Dance Party Fundraiser at Rhinoceropolis (Saturday, sliding scale donations)
Dance to the tunes of DJ Firehawk at a party tonight that benefits the actions of Denver Anarchist Black Cross. In its own words, the organization "provides support to political prisoners, radical movement defense, legal support to local communities, and a community wide mutual aid fund." Support this cause while shaking your legs at what's sure to be a fun extravaganza.

Cody Kuehl Art Opening at Marion Street Tattoo & Gallery (Saturday, free)
When the pipes froze at Marion Street Tattoo & Gallery last week, the shop had to postpone this art opening. Luckily, the pipes have thawed and you can check out Cody Kuehl's pop-art pieces tonight. Take in some art, snack and enjoy!

Arguments & Grievances at Vine Street Pub (Sunday, free)
Arguments & Grievances is back with its first show of the year -- and the lineup is better than ever. The comedy debates continue with verbal fights about the merits of Ren & Stimpy vs. Tom & Jerry, Super Bowl vs. Puppy Bowl, and more. Hear hilarious local comedians spar verbally and cheer on your favorites.

Opening Celebration at the MCA Denver (Sunday, 10 cents)
The MCA has not one, but three exhibits opening this Saturday, and they're celebrating with ten-cent admission all day as well as tours, free coffee and other special programming. Check out WIlliam Lamson's Action for the Delaware, Patti Hallock's The West Is Here, and The Ladies Fancywork Society's Fancygasm all for one thin dime.
