2010 Boston Skillshare
at Simmons College Main Bldg, 300 The Fenway, Boston (The Fens)
$3 to $10 sliding scale donation
People showing other people how to do stuff in 90-minute workshops that start at 11am, 12:45pm, 3:15pm, and 5:25 pm. There's a free lunch at 2:15pm with vegan, raw, and gluten-free options and will be "a bit simpler than it has been in years past."
Today's sessions range from fun (Urban Gardening Basics, Beginner Level Juggling, Roadkill Arts & Crafts) to functional (Basic Non-Macho Auto Maintenance, How to Fix Your Credit, Safe City Bicycling 101, Starting a Worker Cooperative) -- and points in between (Acupressure, Lesbian Dating 101, What's Wrong With Processed Foods?). Check the schedule for whatever floats your boat.
Pay what you can afford, maybe less if you're going for one thing or more for staying the whole day.

Native American Spring Moon Pow-Wow
at Marshfield Fairgrounds, 140 Main St, Marshfield
$5 / $2 ages 4 to 12
If you feel like a drive, you can absorb some Native American culture like dancing, singing, storytelling, games, arts/crafts, etc. The stuff that was popular before casinos…

SUN 5/30 (and MON 5/31)
Noon
"Campfire Festival"
at Club Passim, 47 Palmer St, Cambridge (Harvard Sq)
$10 per day
The real good news is that the weekend is jam-packed with wall-to-wall folky goodness as well as a few groups that don't really sit under the "folk" umbrella.
Performers will sing some songs solo as well as join together for impromptu collaborations -- just like a... campfire sing-along!
Better than most campfires due to fewer mosquitoes -- although no fire for s'mores. On the other hand, Passim serves beer and wine now...

"Back Alley Cinema's Sunday Sci-Fi Freakout"
at Outpost 186, 186 1/2 Hampshire St, Cambridge (Inman Sq)
$3 / All Ages
The only problem with watching these cheesy old sci-fi flicks from the '60s is that the venue doesn't allow "smoking, alcohol, ether, qat or laudanum".

The Macrotones
at House of Blues -- Front Room, 15 Lansdowne St, Boston (Kenmore Sq)
FREE / 21+
Hey, you probably have tomorrow off. Why not party with some afro-funksters at the beginning of summer. Even better than seeing free tonight would be them playing on the beach while you have a very cold beverage -- but it should still be a good chance to get loose.
If you wanna party on the other side of the river, Jesse Dee and Christian McNeill lead the Sea Monsters every Sunday ($7-ish) at Precinct (Union Sq). It's another hornsy party with less afro-funk and more folk-soul. I can't guarantee it's happening though...
