what's going on this weekend?

Don't forget about the lighting of the downtown Columbus Christmas tree, 6-8 p.m. Friday.

FYI...Downtown Baking Co. will have an open house Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. It's at 1039 First Ave. Expect lots of breads and sweets.

As far as nightlife offerings go...it's pretty much the standard scene. I'm most (read: kinda) excited about the MAC cosmetics party at Rumors, 1107 Broadway, Saturday night. The details on this shindig are kind of vague, aside from the fact that there will be drink specials, food and a photographer. But proceeds from that stuff, as well as the $7 cover charge, go to the MAC AIDS Fund, so I guess it's all for a good cause.

See you there, bitches!
