- Drink for the Kids, early and often. The parading opportunity for the 21+ set to consume adult beverages in support of the Vera project moves to the Funhouse and Solo Bar tonight and has its grand finale on Saturday at Neumo’s with performances by Throw Me The Statue and Fleet Fox Robin Pecknold in White Antelope clothing. (Party ahead of show at a fundraiser for the music community’s favorite County Executive candidate, Dow Constantine) $15, Friday, 8pm. [ticketswest]
- The merchants of West Seattle Junction invite you to take a plane, bus, car, or exotic water taxi to their neighborhood for a free weekend-long festival featuring the likes of Mark Pickerel, Mudhoney, Team Gina, the Supersonic Soul Pimps and dozens of other bands with connections to the city and the neighborhood. $free!, all weekend.

- No Depression holds its first festival on Saturday at Marymoor Park in Redmond with a commute-worthy lineup topped by Jesse Sykes, Iron & Wine, and Gillian Welch. Get there early for a true all-star revue featuring Star Anna, Sera Cahoone, Maldives, Ian Moore, Zoe Muth, Mark Pickerel, Kristen Ward & more, who’ll play together at 2 pm. $45, Saturday noon–???

- If you have a moment for shade and air conditioning, do your part to make Humpday an opening weekend smash. Though the premise — recently reunited heterosexual bros decided to make a gay porn during a night of hippie artist revelry — sounds outlandish, the most shocking part of the movie is how quickly it becomes believable, suspenseful, and affecting. Oh, and it’s very funny, too. All weekend, Harvard Exit. [landmark]
