Wow, wow, wowza! You Burque event planners were busy getting this weekend together. On top of the usual, I have quite a few events to fill out your schedule. Here is goes! Battle of the Bands —Starting at 4 p.m., local bands take over the KiMo for a Battle of the Bands! Tickets are just $5 for adults and kids 12-and-under are free. (And why you’re Downtown, why not hit up the Go Arts Festival?) Duke City Improv Festival —The Box Performance Space offers up a weekend of improv awesomeness with shows tonight and tomorrow at 7, 8 and 9:30 p.m. and Wowie Ka Bowzo at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Napa vs. Sonoma —Whole Foods Market (5815 Wyoming NE) hosts this wine tasting event from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. comparing wines from these two distinct regions (Napa Valley Wine Country and Sonoma Wine Country).
