Happy May Day, kids! Go run around a pole and leave baskets on people's front steps.

1. Though this Friday's Rockin' Out column is all about it, it's still worth a mention that Orono is a hive of musical activity this weekend. A brief run down of events includes the following: Panic at the Disco, Motion City Soundtrack, the Hush Sound and Phantom Planet at the Alfond Arena at 9 p.m. on Friday, Funk Thrust at the Bear Brew, also at 9 p.m. on Friday; then Feel It Robot, Rotundo Sealeg, Wood Burning Cat and the 500's at 8 p.m. at the Keith Anderson Community Center on Saturday, WMEB 91.9 FM presents Dan Deacon, Future Islands and Alien Journalism at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Bear Brew, and Jack's Wild at Woodman's starting at 10 p.m. Yeah, that's a lot. Awesome.

2. If none of that interests you, however, you can go see Last Chance to Reason, Radiation Year and Fear Verona at the Kave in Bucksport. They all play at 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 3, it's $10, and it's all ages.

3. Celebrate spring with the New England Steel Band Festival in Blue Hill and Deer Isle, with events on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday in both towns. Lots of dancing, food and cool island sounds. For a full schedule, visit peninsulapan.org. [1]

4. There's a Bike Swap at UMaine on Sunday! Go find yourself a wicked cheap used bike, or bring your old bike to swap for another. Listen to the bike-tastic sounds of Feel It Robot, who definitely have a busy weekend. Meet up with other bike people. Did we mention that there will be bicycles there? It's from 10 a.m. til 2 p.m. at the Student Rec Center on campus. Yay.

5. I AM IRON MAN. OK, no, not really. I'm not Iron Man. I know, you were confused for a little bit there, but I want to clear things up. I am not Iron Man. I'm not! That would be pretty cool, though. The next best thing, however, is seeing "Iron Man," which opens this weekend in theatres nationwide. Hopefully it's as good as the trailer was!
