10/6: Three for free

3free_logo.gif Pinching pennies? Chic but cheap? We understand. Here are three free events this week for your going out pleasure.

Thursday, October 9

- "Shake Your Booty" Bash @ Leokadia: Whether you love or hate ankle booties — I'm a recent convert — you can't escape these trendy shoes on the runways, red carpets, or in stores this season. The Hello Stiletto Shoe Club celebrates booties this Thursday night at South End shoe hotspot Leokadia. There'll be free champagne cocktails and a competition for "best booty" (we're talking shoes here). DJ Joe Mama will provide the soundtrack for all this preening and shoe-gazing. Space is limited, so be sure to sign up for the club and RSVP. 6-9 p.m.

Saturday, October 11

- October Fest @ Whole Foods: Grocery shopping is essentially a grown-up chore — something that you should do on the weekend when you'd rather be hiking, tailgating, sleeping, whatever. Thankfully, Whole Foods in Cambridge understands. This Saturday, the store will grill sausages outside and offer free samples of seasonal beer. We'll drink to that. 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

- Honk! Festival @ Davis Square: Honk if you like gleeful musicians playing drums and horns. This Saturday, 25 big bands will shake, rattle, and roll in Somerville's Davis Square as they reclaim public space for the community. You'll hear everything from funk to klezmer. Warning: A hangover might reduce your enjoyment of the cymbals and cheerful cacophony at this event. Just saying. 11:30 a.m. - 9 p.m.
