The weekend was spent in perpetual fun mode. Major and minor concerns were kicked to the curb, temporarily, in pursuit of good times. Which were had and photographed.
Friday night: Nomo played an amazing set at The Whole and things got a little bit rowdy with Retribution Gospel Choir at the 501.
Saturday: The little man and I walked down to the Cinco de Mayo Parade (where I shook Al Franken’s hand, and the boy danced along with the drum lines) then we headed over to The Source for Free Comic Book Day, which was a huge hit.
Saturday night: A lovely fire in the backyard with friends and smores.
Sunday: Our regular visit to the gym was skipped in favor of hitting up the May Day Parade, where many friends were seen. Still haven’t processed those photos. Upon getting home I crash-landed on the front porch couch for a much-needed nap. Then spent the evening finally watching episodes from season one of 30 Rock. I know, I know, way behind the times but I get there in the end.
I’ve got a lot of catching up I should be doing this week, but there’s even more fun to come. Seeing Vivian Girls in the Entry tomorrow night. Taking the lad to a performance of Ramona Quimby at the Children’s Theatre on Thursday. A field trip to a nature center on Friday. And another evening of friends and shows and staying out too late on Friday. But I’ll take what I can get, when I get it.
Bonus: Musicians Preferred; Loud Music O.K.
Plus: WHA?!!! Prison officer zaps children with 50,000-volt stun gun ‘to show them what a day at work is like’
And: Nicolas Cage Stunt Driver Wrecks Ferrari In Times Square. Sadly, Cage’s career will survive.

I have to go see Ramona. Wonder if the kids would sit through it…. Ramona was like my hero when I was a kid. I even got my hair cut to look like her when I was in the 3rd grade.
