Weekend in The People’s Republic
Mobilizing Our Kicks for Spring . . . We want SPRING! We Want SPRING! WE WANT SPRING!!
We may be 5 days, 18 hours, and 12 minutes from the official beginning of Spring, but you would never know it from the plethora of events that abound in our fair city this weekend.
Don’t let those looming clouds, occasional raindrops and 60something degree temps bully you into staying indoors this weekend.
We must prepare for Spring’s triumphant return by watching live college baseball, buying new plants, watching carnival inspired theatre and raising money for our favorite campaign efforts.
If you follow all of my suggestions, you’ll probably need to take Monday off to recover… it’s a hectic weekend in our People’s Republic. After the jump, find all the deets to keep your new spring kicks moving all over town.
