That nightmare, again: You're in biology class, trying not to nod off while the teacher drones, and suddenly you notice everyone's gaze focus squarely on you. You're naked, it's test day and you forgot to study. But that's not what's freaking you out. No—it's the plastic jelly bracelets, stirrup pants and side ponytails that cause you to sit up in bed, heart thumping like a '90s boom bap beat. This Saturday, May 26, your dreams are becoming a dayglo-blooded reality at Holly Rebelle's High School Reunion: A Burlesque Tribute to the '90s. The dreaded time machine takes off from the Launchpad at 8pm. Admission is $15 for adults over 21 (anyone younger probably wouldn't get it anyway).

If you're a casual wine enthusiast like we are, the Albuquerque Wine Festival is a great chance to learn more about the nectar of the gods. Enjoy three booze packed days at the Balloon Fiesta Park, May 26 through 28 from noon to 6pm Saturday and Sunday and noon to 4pm on Monday. Tickets are $25 to $50 and includes $5 off any bottle of wine. So, take the time to marvel at over 50 local artisans, take free painting classes and indulge in carefully crafted vino. Once the wine kicks in, dance to award-winning musicians and dine on delicious local cuisine. Pop a cork and enjoy a day through rosé-colored glasses.

Digging in the garden garners the best treasures in the form of worms. Nothing screams “healthy soil” like a silent wriggling worm. Worms quicken the composting cycle and make great soil any garden would be lucky to have. To discover more about these little insect gems, head down to the Cherry Hills Library this Saturday, May 26, for Vermicomposting: Worm Farms for Fun and Profit. Learn more about composting with worms, selecting a bin for your farm and harvesting that sweet compost. Don't worry about the early bird since this event doesn't start until 1pm. One lucky bug can also win a starter group of composting worms. This event is free so wriggle on down!

It’s been a long time since high school, and we could all use a refresher on some of the topics we nominally learned in a gym surrounded by people we don’t talk to anymore. For a fun and much less painfully awkward sex education experience, come out to Self Serve’s Sex Ed Game Show and Carnival at Sidewinders this Saturday, May 26, from 6 to 9pm. This (totally voluntary and consent-based!) “Jeopardy”-style game show tests your knowledge with silly sex questions and physical games. There’s also a spanking booth, relationship advice booth featuring author Kevin Patterson of Love's Not Colorblind, raffle prizes and more. Tickets are $5.
