A busy string of autumn weekends continues with the Wisconsin Book Festival, Madison Food & Wine Show, grand opening of the new Chazen building, and Halloween at the Zoo.

Free flicks, another Les Mis and some fine rock & roll on tap Wednesday. You can't beat the price of the City Weekly Street Team's event tonight at Brewvies--it's free, suckas! And what do you get?
