Welcome back to another In the Mixx picks for your weekend happenings.

Wow, this month is almost over, can you believe that? Next month I’ll be leaving for New York City — never been there and don’t know what to expect. If you’ve been, drop me an e-mail and let me know the good and the bad things about the city. Oh, and I would also like to know what the weather is like in June, I’ll be there for two weeks.

OK, let’s find out what’s happening this weekend ...
