Weekend roundup 2/19

The fiance and I were suckered into a timeshare getaway this weekend, so we're heading to (slightly) balmy Williamsburg, Va., for a quick rendezvous kept on the cheap (hopefully). If you have any suggestions for fun/free/cheap stuff to do in Williamsburg, Va. (we're already planning on the winery and the brewery), please leave a comment below.

We return in time for Sunday's Timeless Elegance Wedding Show at the Holiday Inn Harrisburg West on Sunday. If you're recently engaged and looking for vendors, all the info is right here. It's guaranteed to be a bit different than the typical bridal show.

It's also Millennium Music Conference weekend in the Harrisburg area! Check here for a schedule of live music at your local haunt.

Finally - today is your last chance to enter to win 10 free Neato Burritos!

The rest of the weekend's news - and there's a lot - is after the jump.

Weekend roundup 1/28

Back on schedule! This weekend has a lot of promise. I'm going to clean the house, grocery shop, do much-needed laundry. Wow. Aside from that, I've got late night drinks with one of my BFFs on Friday and a long-awaited Sunday brunch at Devon with my best work girls ($3 Mimosas! $4 Bloodies!)

Stop right now and click here and leave a comment to win 2 tickets to the Pennsylvania Fighting Championship II, presented by Blackman MMA on Saturday, Feb. 6. In addition to the tickets, you'll get a Steve Blackman action figure!

There's lots to do, so let's get right to it:

Weekend roundup 1/22

Well, wedding planning seems to be taking over my weekends already, visiting ceremony and reception locations and locking in a photographer. But, fear not, friends. I am quite far from being a bridezilla, and I'm also planning on hitting the gym (finally) and checking out Mikado's new west shore location. By Sunday, it's spa day - a leftover Christmas treat for my girlfriend and I.

Don't forget you can so, so, SO easily win a free $20 gift card to Fenicci's of Hershey by answering a super easy question. Click HERE to participate. Next week, I'll be giving away tix (and another special prize) to the upcoming 2nd Pennsylvania Fighting Championship II on Feb. 6.

There's plenty going on this weekend. Click through to check it:

Weekend roundup 11/12

I don't know what it is, but I've been swamped lately. This entire week included nary a social event (okay, I'm still going to watch Grey's tonight at my girlfriend's house), but instead has been wrought with responsibility and duty. I'm not complaining - but I am looking forward to spending the weekend on the couch with the dog. I may even treat myself to a movie - if you have a recommendation, leave it in the comments.

Around town, things are a bit more active. Here's the rundown:

Weekend roundup - 10/1

The days keep rolling by. I don't know where the time goes. Tonight the fiance (yes, that's new) and I will have a mini-date night with dinner at Flinchy's (Thanks again for the shout-out, Dawson!) and head home to watch our Thursday night TV shows.

This weekend was meant to be spent with my future in-laws, but instead it appears that work beckons. So, if able, I'll stalk The Impact Band at Champions Friday night, plus judge the Cupcake Cup on Sunday.

Here's the lowdown on the rest of the weekend:

Weekend roundup 8/6

Welcome to the west shore edition of the Weekend Roundup! I've relocated, but that won't stop the weekly update of what's going on, where to eat and what to drink. I'm slowly creating some semblance of order in the house. For me this weekend is about more unpacking, convincing the boyfriend to take me to see Julie & Julia, a bachelorette party on Sawyer's Diner rooftop and the final trip to the old apartment. Lots going on everywhere - let's get to it:

• Giotti's has AYCE King crab legs tonight for $21.99
• Damon's (Susquehanna Shoppes) is hosting Bike Night from 6-9 p.m. tonight
• Friday, HYP hosts its Date Auction & Benefit at ABC's Abbey Bar

Weekend roundup 2/6

Another week done and gone. Oddly enough, it seemed to zip by, almost, but my 'to do' list is just getting warmed up. This weekend, I'll be partaking in some Chocolate-Covered February activities - for you, my dear readers. Next week's column will include some Hershey-themed Valentine's Day ideas. Then, on Sunday, it might finally be time to get that New Year's resolution kicking at the gym or a yoga class somewhere. And elsewhere:

• It's Firkin Friday at Brewhouse Grill! They'll tap the Tröegs Nugget Nectar at 5 p.m.
• HYP's First Friday HH is at Stock's on Second tonight.
• Things are groovin' over at Champions later tonight when The Impact Band performs your favorite booty-shakin' hits. Or my favorite booty-shakin' hits.
• Flinchy's is rocking with the Luv Gods tonight
• Mantis features artist Shawn Williams tonight from 8-10 p.m.
• Sports Night and West Wing star, Joshua Malina, will perform with cousin Maestro Stuart Malina as HSO conquers Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe. Performances Saturday and Sunday.

I'm not sure what the rest of you are up to, but while I'm at the luxurious Hotel Hershey this weekend, here's what is going on around town:
