It’s been a weird week, to be capped off by an outrageously busy weekend. I should be doing much to prepare for it. Instead? I’m still in my pajamas and haven’t accomplished much more than having breakfast (and losing some more of my life to flickr). But some days are just like that. The little man is on break from school, from today through May 31st. The year-round schedule has its benefits, but the big breaks at random intervals…that takes some getting used to.
Friday:
- The lad has another of his dreaded swimming lessons this afternoon.
- Art-A-Whirl begins. In particular I want to see Sean Tubridy’s amazing work, and an aerial performance by Xelias (as we do every year).
- Initial D shows at the Riverview Theater at midnight.
Saturday:
- A day of festivities to celebrate the grand opening of the Minneapolis Central Library.
- The full 411 on Pillow Fight Club has been revealed. 2:00pm at Logan Park (Broadway and Monroe) in Minneapolis. Be there or be square. Or something.
- Artful Super Saturdays at Intermedia Arts. Always fun for the whole family, and this time with shadow puppets. Neat.
- Signal to Trust is at the Turf Club.
- Mogwai plays the main room.
Sunday:
- My long-time internet friend Shokufeh is coming to town, and we’re going to meet for the first time. Yay!
- It’s Family Art Day at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, complete with balloon sculptures.
- Somewhere in this hectic weekend we have to squeeze in the Xelias performance. Maybe Sunday at 1pm?
Phew. I’m sure I’m forgetting something, but that is more than enough to keep us occupied.
Bonus: Kylark has pointed out a book I should pick up. Mindblindness: An Essay on Autism and Theory of Mind looks like a fascinating read (even if the cover is creepy).
Plus: This Stone Golem suit is absolutely freaking amazing (via boingboing).
And: “The Eco Kettle makes it easy to boil only the amount of water you actually need, so you can save energy, save water and save time, making it better for the planet… and you still get to have a great cup of tea.” (via PopGadget)
