Yeah, I know it's Easter on Sunday so lots of you are going to go home and see family and, literally and figuratively, walk on egg shells for the whole weekend. So, whether you like it or not, you've got plans. But what about those of use who aren't going home, for reasons like work, money, I wish my family was dead, or an acute case of Jewishness? What should you do on this fine first weekend of spring? Chairman Denton suggested I recommend some cultural things and that I contact some of the other editors in the Gawker universe (there are other sites!) to get their unique and varied insights. Several responded kindly and helpfully, so I've added their suggestions to mine and come up with a wee weekend guide for you.

1. Maura Johnston at Idolator totally thinks you should check out Pennsylvania fivesome The Shackeltons at the Canal Room tonight. Their album is one of her favorites of the year so far.
2. Go see Paradise Park, by Charles L. Mee, at the Signature. It's a lovely and strange poem about people and places.
3. As you recover from your Paradise Park thought-hangover (or your actual hangover) Gridskipper's John Rambow thinks you should see some soothing ahht, like Kim Gordon's new watercolor show in SoHo.
4. Go vroom vroom at the New York Auto Show. There are bound to be lots of men milling around, hoping to find that TV and movies myth, the sexy mechanic lady.
5. Pareene reminds us that there is more than one holiday this weekend, as tomorrow is National Corn Dog Day. So go stuff your face at Crif Dogs on St. Marks.
6.Defamer newbie Stu VanAirsdale suggests you go see Irina Palm, in which "Marianne Faithfull plays 'the hand-job queen of London's red-light district.'" It opens at the Quad today.
7. Head over to Hall of Williamsburg on Saturday night, because Holy Fuck is playing. I mean, Rachael Ray loves them, why wouldn't you??
8. Go see comedian Porno Jim (a friend of Fleshbot) at the Producer's Club. Bring a date! Awkward!
9. On Sunday, if you're not at church or running around wearing a big floppy bonnet or something, there is a delicious Pit Smoked Easter Feast at BBQ hut Hill Country.
10.Check out that violent kill everything movie Doomsday. Annalee Newitz, from io9, says the film, about "punk cannibals in Glasgow," is "so incredibly, winningly bizarre."
For those of you who don't live in New York or just hate leaving your house, Denton is excited to read Resistance, Owen Sheers' much ballyhooed new alternate history novel about a Nazi-invaded Great Britain. And John Rambow will be pretending to read Sebastian Horsley's crazy new memoir Dandy in the Underworld. Also, you should catch up on HBO's John Adams miniseries, which Denton loves because it reminds us that America didn't exactly "[spring] fully-formed from the Revolution."

Also recommended: Documentary Planet B-Boy; the dark and lyrical Paranoid Park (lots of parks today!); if you live in the Twin Cities area go see the delightful musical The Drowsy Chaperone, which has made its tour stop at the Ordway Center; watch the third season of the superb television series about politics and war, Battlestar Galactica, before the new season starts; or, hey! go take a walk outside.

Oh, actually scratch all that. You should just stay by the computer and read Gawker all weekend, because Ian Spiegelman will be covering the weekend beat. Crazytown!

What'd we miss? Anything else great that needs to be done this weekend?
