Sorry. No pictures this week.. I would
have done the usual illustrations but I actually couldn't stop
watching Here Comes Honey Boo Boo long enough to do it.
Friday
Stones in His Pockets
A world famous Irish comedy! A rural
Irish community is taken over by a Hollywood film crew.
This is a two man show. Two actors play all of the roles! From what I've gleaned from online reviews it's going to be better than that scene in Mrs Doubtfire where the social worker shows up at Robin William's apartment.
I don't know.
The Gladstone Theatre, as mentioned before, is in a great location and makes for a wonderful evening out.

All Weekend
Ottawa Folk Festival
From the Festival Description: “Set
amidst the natural beauty of Hog’s Back Park, the Ottawa Folk
Festival is a five-day celebration of music, dance, visual arts and
community. Expect an eclectic mix of musical performances on two
evening and five daytime stages. The event also includes participatory music workshops,
special children and family performances, beer gardens, artisan
and craft vendors, and much, much more. It's a family-friendly,
community-focused, culturally diverse party that is also committed to sustainability
and eco-friendly initiatives.”
UPDATE: the Folk Festival is rain or shine, folks! Don't let a little torrential downpour stop your fun.

Colonel By Drive. Gates open at 5p.m weekdays, noon on weekends, and
the festivals ends before 11p.m nightly. Sept 6 until Sept 10. Pricesvary. You can pay at the gate but it's a bit of a gamble; get the tickets
in advance. 613-230-8234
Okay, back to Georgia-trash reality
shows.
I have a hard time seeing the value in watching anything where the english language is so abused that there must be subtitles.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you have some follow up content about the success of yoga-aid.
oooh no no. There's no value.
ReplyDeleteJust the sweet sweet satisfaction of being better than someone, anyone.
Someday, my friend, we shall take a road trip to southern Arkansas, Oklahoma, or Mississippi and you can be surrounded by folks who tawk jus' lahk thayat. Or we won't. Education in the south is crap. Goes to show you why Republicans often win.... ( see http://www.270towin.com/ )
ReplyDeleteAre you participating in Yoga Aid? If so, hit me up for a donation!
And speakin' of "boy howdy," I sure hope I can talk Pierre into going to the Folk Festival. Thanks for the heads up!
Ha! I'd love the Soawth! To pass through it, I mean.
ReplyDeleteI'm not participating in Yoga Aid but I just love those 'follow the sun' events. Or the simultaneous events where Ontario's doing it at noon but Sydney's doing it at 2 am the next day.
The Folk Festival line up looks fantastic http://ottawafolk.com/?page_id=717
