Do your civic duty first; then, you can party.

Round one: the public meeting for planning the Sakai property. Participation in the master dreamcasting session (what to do with the $5.9 million parcel we paid for?) gets you free snacks and possibly childcare (5 and up!) Meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at the BHS Commons; the session goes ’til 3.

Your socially conscious Saturday continues at the BISD open houses, where you can learn why more tax dollars may be needed. Show up to the high school’s 100 Building, Blakely or Wilkes anytime between 1 and 4 p.m. School district staff – yes, the big guns – will be there to answer questions and show you what’s hurting.

BARDOT is the kind of band that sells American Apparel bodysuits on their website with the title of their latest track, “Damelo,” printed on the front. So they’ll make you feel young again. The “pop rnb dance party” comes to Space Craft at 8 p.m. Saturday, followed by Real Don Music, whose sound is too difficult to describe. Tickets are $12 at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2477816.

From typing monkeys to a looping Leon Trotsky, David Ives’ antics are on full display this weekend at Swinging Hammer Productions’ Winter One Acts. Shows at Bainbridge Performing Arts are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Buy your $20 ticket (unless you’re a senior, child, military member or teacher – in which case it’ll cost you $15) at www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org/products/one-acts-2016.

The Bainbridge Blab is your one-stop spot to get the 411 on all things 98110.
