Finally. Now I'm not going to say it, just in case I jinx the whole thing, but really: it's here! And just to make sure you get the most out of it, we've got plenty to keep you out and about this weekend. But in between all the goodies that we've picked out for your pleasure, I want you to promise me to soak up some of that joy.

This weekend's guide is brought to you in association with Design By Us, a Danish design team who produce innovative and vibrant home interiors tinged with a touch of humour. Specialising in tables, lamps and chairs they also offer complete home design solutions. Time to abandon Ikea kids, the sun's out and so is flat pack.

Prometeo
Surround sound wasn't enough for Luigi Nono. Oh no. He had to go one step further, and shatter all the traditional boundaries between opera, theatre and music, invent a few new instruments, rope in more sound sources than you can imagine, and then sit his audience slap in the middle of the astonishing resulting audio whirlwind. Talk about a know-it-all.

Mindie 2nd Anniversary Party
If only a club worked like pick 'n' mix. You know: I love those blue frogspawn liquorice allsorts, but you prefer milk bottles, and everyone loves flying saucers. Something like Mindie's, then, where you can get everything from hip-hop and rock n' roll to electro. Now if only they served real pick 'n' mix too, then we'd be sorted.

Circus
The oh-so-cute Lovefoxxx, lead singer of our favourite Brazilian, edgy, über-sexy, almost-pop, electroclash outfit, CSS, is descending on the vaguely unsuspecting Circus regulars for a one-stop pop-up DJ set. Amidst the usual tranny glam and late night debauchery expect the wee one to weave an aura of dancefloor magic for the minions.

Buy My Wardrobe
If you've ever wanted to rifle through some seriously stylish women's wardrobes, here's your chance - you can even walk away with the contents. 20 über fashionable women have raided their closets and the results are up for sale - designer handbags, shoes and big name brands to browse through over a glass of champers. It's almost like being one of them. Sigh.

Tilted Disco 3rd Birthday
When I was three I got a cake, some OshKosh and a game that involved a horde of fellow three year olds throwing jelly and ice-cream everywhere. When Tilted Disco turn three, they get special guest appearances from the likes of German techno legends, Hardfloor, plus a host of other live sets and DJ appearances. Go figure.

Wodehouse Picnic
'Really Jeeves, I must object. Pig racing to celebrate our re-issue? Surely something more fitting might be mustered? Dancing girls perhaps? That pretty thing from Bloomsbury...' 'Lord Elmsworth is coming, sir.' 'Ah. Understood, old boy. But gin? Really. There must be some...' 'There's plenty of gin, sir.' 'Oh? Jolly good. What would I do without you, Jeeves?' 'Indeed, sir.'

London Aware 08
Mother Earth needs help people, and it's up to us average Joes to pull together and turn things off standby, or something. For all of you who'd like to help but think the whole thing is for scientists, radicals and eco-bunnies, head to the Barbican where normal people show you normal products and normal strategies for reducing your Carbon footprint.

Uptown Boogie Down
Live painting, 3D glasses, neon facepaints; the monthly Sunday deep house session is going down a storm, and it's only two parties in. Join resident DJ duo Jafar and Maxime Cescau and special guests House Hero Freddy McQuinn and Chicago based live paint maistro Pete Nawara and boogie on down.

Stylenoir Launch party
Stylenoir's Big Black Book celebrates young artistic talent, and for its launch, they're partying with DJ sets from host Mat Horne (off Gavin & Stacy), Tapedeck and Food Soundsystem, plus live acts to accompany the strutting models in wares by Charles of London and Isabella Pepper. First 150 in get a goody bag too - what more incentive do you need?
