To Do: Your Weekend Of George And Humphrey

Friday
· Friday night music: The Wrens and Asobi Seksu are at the Troubadour, Petra Haden (her triplet sister Tanya married Jack Black) & the Sellouts, her choir of six, perform a capella covers of The Beach Boys, The Who, and more at the Getty, and John Doe "plays and sings and is sexy," says the Largo calendar.
· A sneak preview of Bobby at the Aero features writer/director Emilio Estevez on hand to receive a tribute, where you can ask him if he was just bullshitting Oprah when he swore up and down about how professional Lindsay Lohan was on set.
Saturday
· The official description of BarCamp calls it "an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment." That's OK—we didn't get it either, until we watched this informative video: It's a geek knowledge-swapping orgy! Hot!
· Music round-up: Grant Lee Phillips plays Largo, The Apex Theory are at the Troubadour, and 400 Blows smack the Echo. (If you're thinking Truffaut-era Aznavour, think again.)
Sunday
· Steven Soderbergh will be at the Aero screening a sneak preview of The Good German (omg!), with a bonus screening of Casablanca, which, if you couldn't tell by looking at their posters, had a major influence on the director's latest project.
· Master of the short story Tobias Wolff hosts a brunch at WordTheater, where he and "four professional actors" (italics ours)—Camryn Manheim, John Heard, Johnny Simmons, Chris Gorham—will perform readings of his works over shmeared everything bagels.
