3 ways to get moving this weekend...

1. You won your weight in candy (and earned a few scrapes) after proving your Big Wheel chops as a kid. See how your skills have held up at a Big Wheel Pub Crawl covering 12 Wicker Park bars, such as Cans (1640 N. Damen Ave.) and Northside (1635 N. Damen Ave.). Includes a costume contest and races in Wicker Park at 9 p.m. Crawl starts at 4 p.m. Saturday. $20. Proceeds benefit Children's Memorial Hospital. Registration: bigwheelpubcrawl.com.

2.
Crawling, you say? Puh-lease. Go for a seasonal stroll instead at the Fulton Market Spring Arts Walk, and browse contemporary artwork, antiques and other items at nearly 20 neighborhood galleries, studios and shops, including Mars (1139 W. Fulton Market) and Flatfile Galleries (217 N. Carpenter St.). Noon Saturday. Free. Fulton Market District, between Halsted Street and Ashland Avenue.

3. Hibernation season is long gone, so stretch your legs and venture outside for a peek at others' abodes during the 37th Annual Beverly Hills/Morgan Park Home Tour. Guided and self-guided tours feature Tudor and Dutch Colonial homes, an English Gothic church and more. 11 a.m. Sunday. $25-$33. Proceeds benefit the Beverly Area Planning Association (BAPA). Tours depart from the Beverly Arts Center of Chicago, 2407 W. 111th St. 773-233-3100. Tickets: bapa.org.

Shek, dreck

"Shrek the Third" opens this weekend, but trust us, you may want to skip it. Instead of another mindless retread, why not amp up your weekend with some weirdness at Music Box. Catch screenings of Guy Maddin's deliriously odd "Brand Upon the Brain!" The silent, black-and-white horror comedy will feature music from live Foley artists, an 11-piece orchestra, plus in-person narration from one of the strangest characters in Hollywood, Crispin Glover ("Willard"). Tickets are pricey ($25 in advance, $30 at the door). What will you be seeing this weekend? Is "Brand Upon the Brain!" your style, or is Glover so odd that you're afraid to be in the same room as him?
