The weather is finally turning around and becoming more Spring-like. A walk to the park with the little man is in order for this evening. Accompanied, perhaps, by some photo-taking. I fear my photostream is becoming sort of…stagnant.
If I can stay awake long enough, I’m also going to attempt to view my latest GreenCine selection this evening. I am ever so ambitious.
My inherently superstitious self worries that this could prove inauspicious, but I went ahead and booked the little man’s post-surgery followup appointment…for Friday the 13th. Keep your fingers crossed for us. We want the crowns to stay in, and cavities to stay away.
After last weekend’s calm and quiet we’re going to switch gears this coming weekend will see much activity.
- Kicking it off right in our backyard…the District Del Sol’s Cinco de Mayo celebrations run Friday 5-10pm and Saturday 10am-8pm.
- Friday night local band Arcwelder, who I listened to a lot in high school, will play the entry with friend of a friend’s band Falcon Crest.
- The all ages ‘Free First Saturday’ returns to the Walker, from 11:00am to 4:00pm, with “screenings of artful shorts by young Minnesota filmmakers, adventurous hands-on activities, and some very silly rhymes.”
- Saturday night will see El Vez headlining the main room while noisemakers Melt-Banana deliver their sensory onslaught in the entry.
- And oh yeah, on Sunday there’s that whole Mother’s Day thing too.
Bonus: The latest dispatch from James is full of gems. I particularly approve of his Sarah Vowell fantasy, and this inspired idea for his next tattoo, which will brand him a librarian for life.
Plus: The website for Tideland, Terry Gilliam’s upcoming movie, has added some new, behind the scenes videos. And Jeff Bridges has some behind the scenes photos on his own site. Now if we could just get a scheduled release date for the United States…that, or plan a trip to the Netherlands for the little man’s birthday. Hmmm.
