T here's this weird thing people do where they say they're "busy" when they actually are just implying they're "important." We do it, you do it—it's getting old. You guys know what we should all do? Take a damn weekend. Enjoy some art or music. Eat something weird. Revel in the spoils of freedom—the world will still be there when we're all done. Boom ... here's those weekend picks.
