What: Emancipator hits the stage with a calm but energetic beeping noise
Where: The Aggie
When: Saturday, Nov. 10
Time: 8 p.m.
Cost: $20
Emancipator comes to the Aggie Saturday with Inspired Flight, bringing trip-hop and indie to the Fort Collins music scene. This concert rounds off four nights of their Colorado tour, which began in Breckenridge on Wednesday. If you’re down for a chill night of down-tempo electronic and indie to take the edge off the week before fall break, come see the Emancipator himself – who is one person, by the way, and has rabid fans who will destroy you if you think otherwise. Don’t let that be a deterrent. I’m just warning you now.

What: Rocky Mountain National Park free entry
Where: Rocky Mountain National Park
When: Nov. 10-12
Cost: Free
Take advantage of Rocky Mountain National Park’s free entry this weekend (gas not included) and check out the best part of Colorado for the low price of living here (and the not-so-low cost of gas). And not only is it free, but it’s only going to get colder from here on out so now is the time to do it. The park is open 24 hours a day, so if you’re feeling really passionate about national parks you can get in at exactly midnight. There’s nothing like driving around in the woods in the dark!

What: KFRC Thanks Giving Giving Thanks
Where: Avogadro’s Number
When: Tuesday, Nov. 13
Times: 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Cost: Suggested donation of two cans of food
At their website, KFRC says, “Last year the KRFC community raised over 800 pounds of non-perishable food for the Food Bank of Larimer County. The Food Bank of Larimer County distributed over eight million pounds of food in 2011.” This year they’re at it again, and with a donation of two cans of food you get a free beer from New Belgium Brewery or Odell Brewing Company (21+, obviously). If there’s a better way to get into the giving spirit, I don’t want to hear about it.
