Shop
Bombarded with online sales? Put on your big girl shoes and get out there this weekend for some old-school shopping. Or, better yet, get a new pair at Pumpz (Galleria, Edina, 952-926-2252). Select shoes will be marked down 30 percent through Monday. These L'Autre Chose "Jeans Ballet Flat" will be $293 (originally $419).

Hopscotch
We've been known to skip around the lake. Thanks to Caribou Coffee, we can now hopscotch on Peavey Plaza (11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. today, outside of Orchestra Hall, Mpls). They're putting up a 3-D "board" that leads you through an 800-foot path of twists and turns. Naturally, there will also be sampling of some sort of caffeinated beverage.

Volunteer
We're getting super excited about Northern Spark, the upcoming arty party all-nighter (June 4 to 5, Minneapolis and St. Paul). We'll discuss more next week, but, in the mean time, they want YOU. Volunteer for one of the three-hour shifts and you'll get a free T-shirt plus a sense of civic pride. We really dig the label "Smart City Walker." We soooo want to sleep over at the Walker.
