This Weekend in the People’s Republic
Maybe it’s the randomly super-warm days in the Bay Area this week (nowhere near Davis-hot, but apparently hot enough to cause a BART meltdown). Maybe it’s because I just started working every day of the week. But I am so tired! It wasn’t THAT long ago that I was at school from morning till afternoon, Monday through Friday. Why is it so difficult to jump back onto that bandwagon (from college’s plan-your-own-schedule)?
This weekend, I shall return to Davis to help some friends move and little R&R.
Fortunately, the events for the weekend look RAD! I’m super-excited to partake in some of them. I’m also thinking I might ask one of my friends to loan a mattress for the cause, keep it in the bed of my truck and hit up the Drive-In while I’m up there. I’m excited.
Get thee outside! Rejoice in some right and relevant culture!! And have a super-super weekend!!!

You know how I always rave about contra dancing? Well, here’s your chance to do-si-do on a real, live farm AND make a difference while you’re at it! In case you can’t remember, all you need to know is that contra dancing is a BLAST for the whole family. Proceeds go to Soil Born Farms, which is an urban farm whose goal is to re-connect youth and adults to nature and local food systems. Good times all around!
