This Weekend in the People’s Republic
Well. Here I am again, idling at the intersection of Spring Quarter Avenue and Finals Week Street. When the bus rolls through and pulls up to Summer Station (you see it? just within view?), I’ll disembark for the last time… The ride’s been great, but it’s time to hoof-it, rough-it and get out there to explore on my own.
But I’m not done yet! This stop-light’s a long one… I think I’ll need some tunes to help me cut loose.
My finals’ schedule isn’t looking that bad, actually. Perhaps I’ll be able to partake in all the right and relevant culture going on this weekend! Get thee outside into this Davis summer weather (what happened to spring?) and enjoy!!

All’s Well that Ends Well [THEATRE]
Integrated Studies Honors Program
7:30-9:30pm
FREE
I participated in ISHP my freshman year, and in this class specifically my spring quarter! I was the best messenger you’ve ever seen!! While I don’t know the details of this show in particular, the students of this ISHP class have a grand tradition of adding music, talents, and all sorts of degrees of silliness! The show plays Friday as well as this evening, both at the same time. Funfunfun!
