The first full week after a holiday (two “captured” holidays) and things are a little slow, but there’s a big show in Huntington for fans of Gwar, a crazy bluegrass show in Mt. Nebo, a kindly blues concert at Folklore Music Exchange Friday and “Little Women” opens at the Alban Arts Center.

Remember that time on “Friends” when Joey had to put the book in the freezer?

Anyway, there’s stuff to do.
