Real Life (more or less): April 24-26 Edition

Yo.

It's a weekend, and there's stuff afoot! What kind of stuff? You tell us!

I'll talk about what I know so far: 

Tonight, I have Ensemble Lipzodes at the Art Hut--they're a group from IN that [who?] specializes in Baroque-era music and more. I'm pretty stoked to hear them. Tonight's programme is called "Call, Court, Casbah: Music of Muslim and Jewish Spain in Al-Andalus, Sefarad, and the Diaspora". Whew! Free, 7 p.m., you can also grab a drink and see the Ming exhibition. Trying to catch a friend's art show at Mad Art, too.

Tomorrow: Day off! May try to take in the giant book sale out at West County Mall--anyone in? In the evening, my friend Andrea (from CA) will be be in town with her organization Change of State. They'll be at the Tin Ceiling with some music made by strange, water-based instruments, followed by a play about insistent complacency in the face of imminent disaster called "Take This House and Float it Away". Here's a link: http://changeofstate.org/

Sunday: Earth Day celebration in Forest Park! Come by the Art Hut for a demo by the Gateway Kite Club (including a candy drop from a kite, weather permitting), kite-making, and nature in art scavenger hunt. Free! 1 to 4 p.m.

 Now you.

Someone should make a suggestion for dinner tonight soon, so as I can decide what I should eat for lunch. I know if I go get Mexican, someone will say we should go to Lilly's, and if I go get Chinese, someone will say we should go to Asian place, etc.   So make it snappy, grandpappy!

La Tropicana because it should be nice out tonight.

And La Tropicana because it's the day after my birthday.

On Saturday night, celebrating birthday with the family.

On Sunday, work, etc.

OK, we can go to Lemongrass tonight -- even though I was really craving the E'ville Chinese joint (j/k -- y'all know I'll eat anything when it comes right down to it). For all I know, it might be just the Deer, her bird, and I for din-din anyways.    

Also, Miss Coral and the Pork Cutlet are visiting great-grandma Cameron in Iowa today and tomorrow.  They should get in time to do something tomorrow night, though.  So, needless to say, I will be spending most of that time period on the east side.  Except tomorrow afternoon, when I'm going to the ladysoccer game at SLU with some folks. Maybe we'll all be pumped from the Athletica's first victory and ready to go out and throw down afterward. And I also told my carpool buddy that I'd meet up with him for drinks at some point this weekend. Probably tonight I guess, unless there's something totally cool and exclusive going on. And I'll be enjoying the good weather.  Immensely.

Oh crap, I forgot YGM was planning to be around this week.  And I forgot to check for additional messages before posting.  Yes, let's go to La Tropicana. For the long-lost birthday boy and all. (That way I can go for Chinese, which I really secretly wanted! Not j/k!)

I'm in for dinner. I've spent many frustrating hours on the phone w/ AT&T this week, so I'd be happy to split a pitcher of margaritas with somebody.

# re: Real Life (more or less): April 24-26 Edition

Yes, tonight Bug & I are doing the baseball watching thing. Hopefully the Cards will keep the winning streak alive and hand the Cubs a bit of their own tails. Hopefully the blisters I've acquired from these shoes will not impede the long trek from our secret parking spot to the stadium. Hopefully I will eat nachos for dinner.

Tomorrow: Sportz! Then a big band dance at Grant's Shelter in JB park. I have no idea what to expect, except a big band and dancing, I suppose.

Sunday: If it's actually sunny this week, I intend to poke around in the garden and look critically at plants and try to determine which should be allowed to survive. So much responsibility!

The usual 7:30 time at La Tropicana? Does that work for B&E&E?

Friday, April 24, 2009 2:14 PM by Young Guy Maddin

# re: Real Life (more or less): April 24-26 Edition

Actually, it's just me. But, yes, that works. See you there!

This is Ron. Longtime reader, first-time commenter. I think that I would like to meet for El Trop. too, but i haven't talked to Claire yet. We are going (actually, I'm staying) to the band at the Kemper Museum tonight at 6, but we could probably be there at 8ish. So, I guess that's fairly non-commital. But I want it to happen.

And for those of you scoring at home (or even if you're alone!), John Brooks will be joining us as well, making it 7 total, I suppose.
