New York:

Olive and Bette’s moving sale is THE absolute place to be this weekend if you’re ready to fight to death. Friday from 8am-7pm, find everything from Nanette Lepore to James Perse obscenely discounted. James Jeans for $30? It could be a madhouse in there. [Link]

ABC World News Tonight Anchor Bob Woodruff will be signing copies of
“In An Instant: A Family’s Journey of Love and Healing”, the book he wrote with his wife about his experiences in Iraq on Friday night. Barnes and Noble Lincoln Center. [Link]

The 256th Annual St. Patrick’s Day parade on 5th Avenue should be hard to miss, but if you find yourself lost for some reason, there’s a bevy of New Jersey parades, too. Ringwood, anyone? [Link]

The Los Angeles and Chicago weekend events are after the jump.

Los Angeles:

David Arquette and Kristin Bell might be among the biggest names stopping by Los Angeles’ Wizard World Convention this year, but folks like Survivor I’s Jerri Matheny won’t be in short supply either. Seeing some of the “Heroes” gang should be cool, though. Too bad Milo V. won’t be there. [Link]

Time’s running out to see Alicia Silverstone and Fish from Ally McBeal star in David Mamet’s “Speed the Plow” at the Geffen Theatre, but if you move fast, you might score a seat. (Mamet is brilliant, so the show should be quite good.) [Link]

Chicago:

“The Man in the Iron Mask” (remember that Leonardo DiCaprio thing?) gets a girlie-girl, badass makeover this month at the Raven Theatre. (Minus DiCaprio, of course.) [Link]

What’s “Equus” without Daniel Radcliffe in the buff? Good question. But if you don’t see yourself flying off London anytime soon, take in Peter Schaeffer’s Tony-award winning play in Chicago instead. Someone will probably be naked there, too. [Link]

It’s St. Patrick’s Day! If you aren’t already hung over, the annual parade might be a good place to play catch-up. The river dyeing begins at 10:45, and the parade begins at 12:00. Let’s see how much damage we can do. [Link]
