If all you care about is nugs, chillin’ and grindage, you’re in luck this weekend because Mr. Pauly Shore is in town. Grab your purple headscarf and wheeze a little ju-uice then head to the Levee Funny Bone Friday and Saturday. Shore is touring in support of his upcoming comedy special, PAULY~TICS, which will be released Nov. 6. In this special, Shore talks shop with Herman Cain, Barney Frank, Ralph Nader and other politicos. Shore has reportedly already been sighted at the Newport Hooter’s, so stick around the Levee for your chance to meet the one and only Weasel.
The City Flea moves from Washington Park to Northside’s American Can Lofts Saturday with Factory Flea.

Food trucks and other vendors will also be on-site outside. The Factory Flea runs 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
If you’re looking for a few good books to curl up with this fall, swing by Duke Energy Convention Center Saturday for Books By The Banks.

There’s also a kids’ corner for young readers to enjoy storytime, performances and more. Admission is free; find details here.
With Halloween around the corner and The Walking Dead having just premiered, it’s the perfect time for Saturday’s Cincinnati Zombie Walk. Hoards of local undead (well, people in zombie makeup) will meet at The Freedom Center at 7:30 p.m. then split into two routes winding around downtown and meeting back up at Fountain Square, where a free after-party will take place from 9:30-11:30 p.m. The crawl is free, but all are encouraged to bring a canned good or two to donate to the Freestore Foodbank. Donations will be collected at the beginning of the crawl and on Fountain Square.
Cincinnati Open Design Event (CODE) is an inaugural showcase of local style-, consumer- and entertainment-based design.
