Comedian Chelsea Handler is going to be performing Saturday night at the newly-renamed Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie (formerly Nokia). But if you don’t have tickets to that, you can still get some face time with Chelsea at her book signing at Legacy Books at 3 pm. The folks at Legacy say they are expecting a huge turnout, and they recommend getting to the bookstore at least an hour early. The event is free to attend, but here’s the kicker: you have to buy one of Chelsea’s books at Legacy in order for her to sign it.
For something a little different, head to the West Village to Pop Up 310, a temporary art gallery located in the former Gardens space. On Saturday from 2—4 they are hosting the awards ceremony for the Goss-Michael Foundation’s student art contest, Ready, Set, Go! Pop Up co-owner James Cope says everyone is welcome, and they will have drinks, snacks, and tons of free stuff to giveaway. Okay. Sold. Meet you there.
