Open for Bizness

So, it’s finally cool enough to go outside without melting yet it’s already cold enough that you dread getting out of bed in the morning. What’s a debutante to do?

Follow these three suggestions, reprobate:

Peggy Jenkins and the Bizness: It’s the last outdoor concert of the year on Broadway at 7 p.m. Friday. Don’t miss Peggy and her band rock the mike. Bring a camping chair, a warm jumper and maybe a quilt to keep yourself warm while drinking cold beer.

Porch crawl: Alternatively, you can do your drinking while milling about on strangers’ front porches. Check out the Historic District Preservation Society’s porch crawl, starting at 8 p.m. Friday at 627 Broadway. It’s $20 that you’ve got to pay at the first house, but you get drinks and eats. Enjoy.

5K for Jeremy: Cooler temperatures mean it is 5K season. Check out one of them this weekend at 9 a.m. Saturday up in Harris County. The Run for Jeremy is in honor Jeremy Williams, whose family was featured on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” Proceeds benefit the Emory ALS Center in Atlanta. It starts at Harris County High School, 8281 Ga. 116. Bring $25 to register and get there early.
