Spring still hasn’t made up its mind, but if we do get another monster storm, it looks like it’s on the tail end of the weekend, so here are some things you can venture out to see — plus the hair of the dog with a killer road trip to Portland.

Funny songwriters at Camden Opera House
Saturday, March 19 — Camden
Two veteran performers and "two of the funniest entertainers on today's music scene" (Boston Globe) will bring their unique brand of smart, friendly, hilarious musical folk comedy to the Camden Opera House stage. Christine Lavin emerged from the NYC singer/songwriter scene in the late 1980s, quickly establishing herself as an entertaining tour de force. Quick on her feet, witty, insightful and engaging, she remains one of the most popular and respected performers in the genre. Her musical partner, Don White, has been described as: "Mark Twain meets Woody Guthrie...Woody Guthrie meets George Carlin....Don leads his audience in a lively well-timed dance of wit and folksy wisdom." Tickets are general admission and $17 in advance and $20 the night of the show. Buy online or for no fee walk next door to at the Camden Town Office Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
More St. Paddying
Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19 — Hope
Hatchet Mountain Publick House isn’t done with the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, so if you couldn’t get in to get a seat on Thursday, they’ll be ripping it up for two more nights. Music by Rovin’ Mick O’Flynn, McGinty’s Goats, Pinchy’s Pipes and guests. And of course, you can get your corned beef dinner and Guinness stew, along with all of the Irish beer and whiskey you want. Music starts about 6 p.m.
Killer Road Trip: Get haired up in Portland
Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19 — Portland
Two weirdo events celebrating men’s facial hair are happening this weekend. Might as well get a hotel and stay over cause it starts Friday with the annual Stache Pag, which is “Part Talent Show, Part Costume Contest, Part Facial Hair Competition” as mustachioed men (and facial hair-clad women) strut their stuff on the catwalk while the host announces names and a few observations. Each contestant gets 10 seconds and some funky music to work with at the Portland House of Music. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 the day of. FMI: Stache Pag And if that’s not enough facial hair for you, from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturday is The Bearded Brewfest, (run by the same people who host the Stache Pag) featuring beers from more than 30 breweries at the University of Southern Maine.
