This is one of those weekends when we wish there were four of us so we could attend all the cool events going on. Having four of us would have its own complications, not the least of which would be the feeding and clothing of all of us, but at least it would provide a handy explanation for why we use “we” as our personal pronoun.

Alas, there’s but the one of us, and, when faced with multiple things to do, we tend to curl up in an anxiety-ridden ball and sleep through the weekend. Here are just a few of the things we’ll miss:

The Autumn Festival at the Aquarium of the Pacific goes from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, with all manner of Asian music, dance, food and art, including Northern Shaolim Kung Fu, tea pot balancing, Japanese Taiko Drumming, Filipino and Korean dance and lots more. It’s free with regular admission ($29.95; $17.95 for kids 5-11).

If it’s a new month (and it is), then there’s a First Fridays in Bixby Knolls event. Tonight, it’s all about the Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos. Go up and down Atlantic Avenue between Bixby Road and San Antonio Drive this even after 6:30 p.m. and you’re going to get such Muerto-ana as sugar skulls, altar contests and happy mariachi music. Plus, more than 30 artists’ works will be on display in the main room of the Expo Arts Center. And don’t forget the Sister shop way down south at Bixby Road.

More Day of the Deadery assaults Pine Avenue in your Downtown area on Saturday from 5 to 11 p.m. with the Grammy-winning La Santa Cecilia headlining the bash on Pine between Fourth and Sixth streets. Throughout the day there are such other diversions as a Kids and Family Fun Zone, a Food Fiesta area and a Vendor Village, along with folklorico dancers, mariachi bands and more. It’s free.

Remember how we flew ourself and our daughter out to New York a couple of weeks ago to see “Hamilton” on Broadway? While there’s no chance you can do anything that cool, but you can do half-a-job by attending the stage production of “In the Heights,” with music and lyrics by “Ham’s” writer-director-star Lin-Manuel Miranda, on Saturday and Sunday at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center.

Showtimes for the Musical Theater West production are 8 this evening, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday and 1 and 6 p.m. Sunday.

Friday Playlist

Music from the Dead doing, mostly, songs about the dead.
