Weekend Picks - Saturday, June 8, 2013

Attend
(Micro)soft Spot
What: You've probably already heard that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Neon Trees will be performing live this week to celebrate the grand opening of Microsoft at Ala Moana Center. The concert is free if you have a ticket. Here's how to get one:

• Tickets will be given away this Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Microsoft store at Ala Moana Center (next to Bath & Body Works). People can line up the night before, starting Wednesday at 10 p.m.
• The first 200 people will get two tickets. One just grants entry to the concert itself, but the other gets the ticketholder into both the concert and a special meet-and-greet with Neon Trees after the show. The next 2,500 people get two concert tickets each, no meet-and-greet included.
• The concert will be held that same day at 6 p.m. at Kakaako Waterfront Park, 102 Ohe St. Gates open at 4 p.m.

What: Score tickets to the hottest show for the 6-and-under set in HONOLULU Family's Sing to Win contest. Just record your cute keiki belting out 30 seconds of his or her favorite song.
