MUSIC—Celebrate Cinco de Mayo away from the sports bars with this decidedly hot Latin dance party. The soulful, party-down sound of Minden will be in attendance, along with the gorgeous Mexican folk songs of Edna Vazquez (backed by a live mariachi band!), and the fun cumbia band Orquestra Pacifico Tropical, who are so hot, they’ll leave blisters on any exposed skin. (Bring salve.) WSH

FILM—This is the sequel to the reboot of the movie based on the comics about a guy who gets bit by a spider, makes some awesome jammies, and fights crime while doing stand-up. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 adds a couple villains to the mix, reveals the answers to a couple mysteries, and pulls down Paul Giamatti’s track pants. Nothing says fun like Paul Giamatti in his boxers, right? BR
