So much fun to have, too few weekend days to do it in!

This is one of those weekends that I am tickeled pink to live in a first ring suburb of Minenapolis. It's the final weekend of the Aquatennial, which means there is stuff going on all over the city. There is so much to chose from, I wish we had more time. After reviewing all of the info, here's our battle plan:

Tonight (Friday): Hit the Dakota Jazz Club for Cocktail hour (I hope Irv and the boys will be playing). Then, maybe, we'll stay for The New Standards (Chan Pohling from The Suburbs, John Muson from trip Shakespeare/Semisonic, and Steve Roehm, an awesome percussionist who plays the vibraphones). And if it all plays out, we'll bring Magni and Modi along... they'll have a blast!

Tomorrow (Saturday):

AM: Go enjoy breakfast at the Famous Daves in Calhoun Square, and travel to New Orleans through the Jack Brass Band performance.... yes... brass band over pancakes...
Noon: Go to My Music store in Golden Valley for the Annual Guitar Toss - pay $1 to throw a guitar into a dumpster - benefitting the GV Animal Humane Society.
Afternoon: Hit the Art Car Parade at LAke Harriet... as LynLake is still torn up with construction
Evening: Attend Mill City part for Aquatennial, Fireworks afteward!

Sunday: AM: Sit on our butts and recover from Saturday... Afternoon: Hit Lake Calhoun/Isles in a couple of canoes and maybe hit Somerfest on Peavy plaza for some music...

And then Monday comes!
