What's going on this weekend?

Fun Friday fact: The average couple makes it 22 minutes into a car trip before fighting, according to a recent survey. Keep that in mind as you navigate the weekend.

The action begins with Friday's free outdoor concert on Broadway. The Relics perform 7-10 p.m.

Saturday is your last chance to take advantage of the Exchange Club's famous foot-long hot dog sale. The hot dogs are available 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Shrine Club, 3202 Edgewood Road. Click here to watch me eat a hot dog.

The Greater Columbus Fair continues through Sunday. There's a "Survivor" casting call 2-5 p.m. Sunday. Details here.

Believe it or not, I have two really cool Sunday events for you.

Sunday Option No. 1: There's fundraiser at Picasso Pizza for a bartender raising money for a 60-mile breast cancer awareness walk. Action starts at 6 p.m. Details here.

Sunday Option No. 2: The Gourds and Whisky Bent perform 6:30 p.m. at The Loft, 1032 Broadway. Cover is $10. The Gourds made that popular bluegrass cover of "Gin and Juice," a cover song often falsely credited to Phish.
