MBTA: Green B Line to Harvard Ave.) is celebrating everyone’s favorite lost decade with The ’80s Prom, Saturday, 9 p.m. Dress your date as Ferris, hop in the DeLorean and secretly wish The Campaign For Real Time and the Gondoliers were, like, the totally tubular Rave-Ups. Or something. Mr. Ni$e spins T’Pau between sets. Tickets are $9, 21+; call 617-566-9014 or go to www.greatscottboston.com for more info.

Those who say “You throw like a girl” have never had their butts whooped by a Jennie Finch fastball. Those who say “Women can’t drive” obviously haven’t seen Danica Patrick on the track.  And those who say “Chicks aren’t funny” should try tuning into “30 Rock.” This weekend you can man up on your XX-chromosomed ha-ha with the “Women in Comedy” Festival, highlights of which include the Steamy Bohemians, writing workshops, stand-up by Kelly MacFarland and sketches by Second City/Improv Asylum alums Leah Gotcsik and Marty Johnson.

Miller won’t rest until every morning commuter, waitress and cabbie has a song about them. The Old 97s frontman hits town behind a forthcoming self-titled bow chock-full of his signature lovelorn laments and set-the-scene vignettes.

You don’t do sadness!!!  That’s one of the tunes from “Spring Awakening,” and some of the cast from that show will perform at this in-store contest. A contest? Yes, if you can sing like the “Spring Awakening” kids, you could win tickets to the Tony Awards. Metro Music Editor Pat Healy is one of the judges. Feel free to bug him about why he hasn’t written about your band yet.

Put down the keyboard, digital monkey. Sure, you could spend the weekend trolling eBay for that Aubrey Beardsley print, an original era mod dress (none of that H&M crap) or the Bakelite goldfish bracelet — or you could interact with real humans at the grand opening of the SoWa Antiques Market. If you spy any Edward Gorey first editions, please tweet us #eBay RT@lazysunday.
