E.T., Mr. Jones and Gary?
That’s a lot of people to meet in a weekend, but hey, it’s better than sitting at home. Find more calendar events
» PHONE HOME: OK, even we’ll admit “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was a flawed movie. Fun, but flawed. The good news, then, is
Spielberg already has a flawless alien flick under his belt: “E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial.” Bring your lawn chairs, picnics and, yeah, Reeses Pieces out at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Loy E. Harris Pavilion, 9201 Center St., Manassas, to catch the classic. Free.
» HELLO GARY: Meet local artists at the Center for the Arts this weekend. Gary DiVecchia and Sy Wengrovitz will be on hand to discuss their new exhibit. DiVecchia works in wood collage; Wengrovitz creates art from carved basswood. The free reception is open to the public from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Center for the Arts Candy Factory, Caton Merchant Family Gallery, 9419 Battle St., Manassas. Info: call 703-330-2787, visit Center-for-the-arts.org or e-mail .
» TWO ADAMS: Adam Duritz and Adam Levine share the bill Saturday at Nissan Pavilion with their respective bands (Counting Crows and Maroon 5). With some of the most iconic songs from the past 15 years (“Mr. Jones” to “Accidentally in Love”), The Crows are your best bet. Or, if that’s a bit tame for your tastes, come back Sunday for the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with hard rockers Slipknot and Disturbed; 7800 Cellar Door Drive, Bristow; 703-754-6400, Nissanpavilion.com.
