Sure, there’s that nerdy-awesome Star Warz Burlesque show on Saturday and Morton’s Steakhouse’s even nerdier celebration of Pi Day on Sunday with $3.14 slices of key lime pie but if you were looking for non-nerd things to fill out your weekend (not that there’s anything wrong with being a nerd) I present to you the following.

Free Brow Threading at Fred Segal Santa Monica

14th Annual Susan G. Komen LA County Race for the Cure 5K
Have a fun run around Dodger Stadium while raising money for an important cause: to support breast cancer research. You can just do the run or you can do the run and work to raise money for the cause as well. Create your own team of friends. Hooray for boobies!
- 8am. Dodger Stadium, 1000 Elysian Park, Avenue, Los Angeles (map).
St. Patrick’s Day Festival 2010
Celebrate the biggest alcoholiday early before all the crazies are let loose next Wednesday.

- 2-7pm. $100. Taglyan Complex, 1201 Vine Street, Hollywood (map).
