So it's "Dave Matthews Weekend" in Connecticut. But if you couldn't get tickets for Friday or Saturday (or just didn't want to; don't worry, we understand), there's still plenty of ways to fill your weekend; musical and otherwise.

Changing gears completely, Henry Rollins is performing at the Webster Theater in Hartford.
