Weekend Happenings

A couple of you asked me to share my upcoming plans. Well, friends, there’s a lot going on this weekend, so much that it will be tough to squeeze everything into three days!

It’s the perfect night for a FREE concert and movie. Starting at 6:30 p.m. at Wilson Park, I can enjoy a concert by David Drake followed by the movie “Open Season," you know the one with the grizzly bears? I can’t think of a better way to unwind from a long work week than spending Friday evening outdoors relaxing, and perhaps, eating a picnic dinner as I enjoying free entertainment. 

If I don’t make it to the concert at Wilson Park, there’s a FREE alternative rock show at the Northern Lights Theater in Potawatomi Bingo Casino. Beginning with Nine Days at 8 p.m. and followed by headliner, Stroke 9. Just in case you’ve forgotten these bands, I’ll jog your memory. No alternative rock fan would forget "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” by Nine Days; and you must remember the lyrics “don't expect to get your bloody black backpack back” from Stroke 9’s 1999 hit, “Little Black Backpack.” I’m always looking for live music, especially when it’s FREE!

Saturday is a day for the arts. First, I’m attending the 45th annual Lake Front Festival of the Arts to checkout featured work by artists from around the world. It’s my first time going to this art show, needless to say, I’ve been anticipating this for years! As I’m told, artists will exhibit and sell their work along Art Museum Drive, directly in front of the Milwaukee Art Museum. The Festival of the Arts began today at noon and runs until Sunday evening. I won’t miss this opportunity to be inspired!

Meanwhile, in the East Town Market at Cathedral Square, four of Milwaukee’s finest chefs will be battling for the title “The Best Chef in East Town.” My mouth is already watering! I’m assuming this event is almost like a live viewing of BRAVO’s Top Chef (one of my obsessions). In which case, it’s amazing to see what skilled chefs can create on a budget and with limited time, especially because it takes me decades just to make spaghetti. 

Finally, Sunday is Father’s Day. I’ll be spending the early afternoon with my dad fishing on Green Lake in West Bend. I hope you make Sunday a special time for your father as well.

As you can see, there’s a lot going on this weekend to choose from. Hopefully you’ll get to experience some of these events for yourself. If you do, please feel free to share with me! Until then, have a great weekend!

Great job, Karen.
Way to get crackin' on this thing. I really appreciate your writing style. I will happily continue to read your blog. Feel free to add mine to your left hand sidebar, if you want to .

Sounds like you had the quite the busy weekend planned for yourself. I hope you got a chance to participate in some of those activities. Come back soon and tell us all about them!

“MJ” you should give me your blog address. I want to link it to PITC. I’m guessing what’s linked to your screen name isn’t that, or perhaps it is and I’m just confused.

Also, thanks for reading and for your positive comments! I’m glad you enjoy my writing style. That really makes my day; kind of like when the 25 cent soda machine at work accidentally gives me two Diet Cokes for the price of one! It’s a great gift! Thanks you.
