Get Out - Your Patch Guide to Happiness

Here's a look at some of the events going on around us this weekend.

It's always nice to feel like you're an insider, with the chance to take in something few others get to see.

Like a look behind the curtain at a family in crisis. Or at an actress revealing the turmoil she faced though her life looked perfect in public. Or at the musicians behind the famous faces.

A play closing out its local run, a book tour and the screening of a film are there for your going-out pleasure March 24-27. There also are music and art options in Carlsbad and beyond.
