FRIDAY
1. David Swanson
Author David Swanson (nominated for a 2015 Nobel Peace Prize) will speak about and sign copies of his book War is a Lie. (Town Hall, free)

2. First Folio! The Book That Gave us Shakespeare
The Central Library presents First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare, on tour from the Folger Shakespeare Library, an exhibit containing the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays, published seven years after his death. It features 36 classic plays, many of which would have been lost without this text. This weekend is your last chance to see it. (Downtown, free)

3. OtB Art School Listening Party #3
If you're really into public group audio zen, head to On the Boards this Friday to see OtB Communications Director Erin Jorgensen and OtB Ambassador James Holt drop the needle on some seriously vibey records. All music selections are an unreleased surprise as everyone watches the sun go down across town and listens to each meditative track. Free and open to the public, this event plans to let loud some "mysterious echoes and beautiful reverberations." (Queen Anne, free)

4. Re-forming Pre-Raphaelitism in America and Britain
Susan P. Casteras will speak about the influence of Pre-Raphaelitism, from the heroines in Victorian novels to comic books from the 21st century. (University District, free)

5. Vibrate
This dance event at Fred Wildlife Refuge is accompanied by DJ sets by Pinky Promise and Fierro, and a live set by Leisurist. Come before 10 pm to get in free! (Capitol Hill, free-$12)

6. DICKSLAP
Get ready for a birthday party full of cakecakecakecake (and beard rubs and techno). Nark is slowly aging, and it's time to celebrate their place in the queer community with Brock (the naked barber), DJ Pezzner, and some gogo cuties on the bar. Knock $2 off at the door if you come in themed gear or fetish attire of your choosing. (Capitol Hill, $5)

7. Night Shift
Night Shift is a recurring dance party with rotating special guest DJs as well as rotating locations. Tonight's event happens at Neumos, with featured DJs Four Color Zack, Miguel Rockwell, Samurai Del, and Tane, and resident Night Shift talent Canh Solo b2b Tony Snark. (Capitol Hill, $5/$10)

8. Difficult Children, Craig Salt Peters, Dim Desires, Yr Parents
Basement rockers Difficult Children bring their earnest scuzz to Blue Moon, with Craig Salt Peters, Dim Desires, and Yr Parents in tow. (University District, $6)

9. Blood Drugs, SSDD, Charms, and Freeway Park
Good to Die is one of those rare record labels that I can trust. The simple fact that these tastemakers of the heavy Seattle underground-rock scene endorse a band is enough for me, even if I’ve yet to hear the music. Seattle’s Blood Drugs issued their debut self-titled LP on Good to Die last April, and it maintains Good to Die’s perfect record for winning releases. Blood Drugs’ nine tracks of raging post hardcore fit somewhere between Fugazi and Moss Icon—just a little more unwound and aggressive. Long live Good to Die, long live Blood Drugs. KEVIN DIERS (Pioneer Square, $7)

10. Seattle StorySLAM
A live amateur storytelling competition much like The Moth, hosted by Lindy West, in which audience members who put their names in a hat are randomly chosen to tell stories on a theme. (Capitol Hill, $8)

11. Holy Pistola and Moe Betta
The 10th Annual Track Suit Invitational presents Holy Pistola and Moe Betta, who will be bringing their electro-soul, R&B, and hip hop stylings to the Sunset. (Ballard, $10)

12. Po' Brothers, Wandering King, Wiscon, and The Black Tones
Bluesy rock and roll and power vocals are to be expected from all four bands on the bill, so bring your energy and try to match the soul on the stage. (Ballard, $10)

SATURDAY
13. Chester Brown
The influential indie comics writer/artist will come to Hugo House to talk about Mary Wept Over the Feet of Jesus, a "polemic reinterpretation of the Bible." (Capitol Hill, free)

14. First Folio: ShakesQueer
I can't in good conscience allow anyone to miss ShakesQueer, a drag tribute to history's favorite bisexual (maybe) playwright. Coinciding with a display of William Shakespeare's First Folio at the Central Library, the show features some of the city's top queer talent, performances, fashion, and "solilo-queens." We'd like to think Willie would approve of that kind of punning. Miss this show and you'll wonder how camest thou in this pickle. MATT BAUME (Downtown, free)

15. International Children's Friendship Festival
How heartwarming! The International Children's Friendship Festival promotes camaraderie and education through a series of cultural performances and art events in local traditions from around the world. According to their website, the festival is free by "Governor Inslee's proclamation." (Seattle Center, free, through Sunday)

16. KEXP New Home Grand Opening Celebration
KEXP is finally unveiling their brand new home at Seattle Center, and will be throwing an all day long party in celebration of finally having more than one office bathroom. Besides local and international music acts like Deep Sea Diver, David Bazan, Donormaal, and Strand of Oaks, there will be food trucks, a beer garden (with ID), and additional performances by guests from Teatro Zinzanni and Cornish College of the Arts. KEXP's new neighbors at Seattle Center, including SIFF, the Vera Project, and Pacific Science Center, will also be hosting special Grand Opening activities. (Seattle Center, free)

17. Obscura Day
Obscura Day is a worldwide celebration of unique, offbeat locations and experiences. Here in Seattle, it's a chance to either explore something you didn't know existed, or see a new side of somewhere familiar. As of this writing, there are still cheap tickets available for a tour of Kubota Gardens and a visit to the Seattle Meowtropolitan cat cafe that includes a free drink. (Various locations, free-$25)

18. Pro Wrestling and Live Music
Project 42 presents a night of pro wrestling and live music, featuring the true rock and roll power of local hunks Stallion. Hosted by Aaron Kirby, this event also features the wrestling talents of Big Jack Cunningham, Darby Allin, Kate Carney, Josh Alexander, Erick Locker, Ethan HD, Christopher Ryseck, Hawk Randolf, Kellen Raeth, Damon James, Anni Richards, Mike Santiago, and Derek Drexl. (Eastlake, free)

19. Record Store Day
Scourge or savior, Record Store Day is today, and there's nothing you can do to change that. Depending on who you ask, RSD is either an incredible show of support for a part of the music industry previously failing in the mainstream arena, or it’s a chance for major labels to force their new school drudge through the pipeline, effectively cutting out much of the vinyl pressing production calendar for smaller, less moneyed labels. Either way, we have compiled the whole deluge of RSD special releases, in-store performances, vinyl discounts, and store events for you, most of which are free to enter.

20. Seattle Unique Boutique Spring Showcase
More than 50 "unique, interesting, odd, weird" local vendors will sell their wares, including masks, hula hoops, healing implements, tarot cards, and jewelry. There will also be a $5 mimosa special, and live music from Mikey Mars. (Capitol Hill, free)

21. Seattle World's Fair Party
Feel like it's 1962 again at Changes' annual 1962 Seattle World's Fair Party, hearkening back to World's Fair classics with Haffi Haff, Iona Trailer, Victoria Love, and Sinfonia Delish, as well as the big Mid-Century 21 Fashion & Hair Show with drinks, décor, and music all night long. (Wallingford, free)

22. Second Use Handmade and Homegrown Market
This Handmade and Homegrown Market promises goods from more than 50 local artists, makers, and plant vendors. They say it might be the perfect place to grab a Mother's Day gift! (South Park, free entry)

At the annual Spring Cider Garage Sale, your first case of Schilling is $10 and many cases (including Schilling, Finnriver, and Reverend Nat's) are up to 75% off. (Fremont, free entry)

Arrive early to the UWPD Bike Sale to get first dibs on over 200 bikes repossessed by the police department; limit is 2 per transaction, and they take cash/credit/debit. (U District, free entry)

25. Versatile
DJs Donovan and Pavone will provide the tunes for this underwear party at The Eagle, where there will be gogo dancers, Jell-O shots, and a clothes check. (Capitol Hill, free)

26. Crowd Sourced

31. Blue Moon’s 82nd Birthday Party
Facts related to the Blue Moon’s 82nd birthday: When original Blue Moon owner Hank Reverman borrowed money from his father to open the place in 1934, Prohibition had been repealed for less than a year. The space featured dirt floors and was just over one mile from the University of Washington campus—and, due to the latter, therefore eligible to legally sell alcohol. Reverman owned the Blue Moon for six years, and he lived to be 96 years old. Tonight's lineup includes The Allman Butters, Hounds of The Wild Hunt, Blackheart Honeymoon, and The Brothers Balthazar. GRANT BRISSEY (University District, $10)

In venerable post-punk tradition, Foster Body feature male and female vocalists who spit with equal vitriol over guitars that slash and sting like Gang of Four’s Andy Gill crossed with Contortions’ Pat Place. If you ever contorted yourself to James Chance, the Stick Men, Pylon, or any other rock band that squeezed 10 pounds of nervous energy into a five-pound bag, you’ll likely jerk your skeleton to Foster Body’s truculent anti-boogie.
