Let’s all congratulate ourselves for making it to Friday because this week has felt like a month! Amirite?

There’s a whole lot of stuff happening this weekend, so let’s dive in!

Comic Jackie Calhoun will be cracking wise Friday and Saturday nights at Empire Comedy Club. Over at Aura, you can see a tribute to Foreigner and Journey on Friday. On Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., head to Westbrook for the Holiday Art Walk & Market.

We asked “American Idol” singer Julia Gagnon to tell us what her perfect day in Maine would look like. We love what she sent us because it includes a delish beverage from Aroma Joe’s and some hardcore thrifting at Fashion Gods in Falmouth. BTW, I’ll be interviewing Gagnon as part of our Maine Voices Live series. It’s happening on Tuesday on the campus of Colby College in Waterville, and you can get a free ticket by using promo code JULIA. P.S. She’ll be singing as well!

If you love the Korean side dish kimchi, then head to the market at Pineland Farms on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There you’ll find a free tasting of samples from locally-made Kimchi Beyond Compare. Plus, hello, you’ll be at Pineland Farms! Woodsy hike, anyone?

There have been a number of changes and improvements at several Greater Portland movie theaters. Ray Routhier tells us the details, including where you can get elevated concessions and deals on tickets. And in case you haven’t heard, Cinemagic at Clarks Pond in South Portland has reopened as Entertainment Luxury Cinemas. There are some decent films playing right now, including “Lost on a Mountain in Maine” and “Conclave,” so pass the popcorn and make a plan to kick it old school with a matinee or evening screening.
