Playhouse on the Square is hosting a two-day party at its future location, corner of Union and Cooper in Midtown, as part of its final phase to raise capital for its new facility, Friday and Saturday, September 7-8.
Friday there will be a block party from 4 PM to midnight, with live bands, beverages and the opportunity to purchase seats in the new building as well as Star dedications on the sidewalk outside.
Saturday from 9 to 11 AM there will be a kids’ festival with games, a live performance of Robin Hood, music by the Senior Conservatory, and food and beverages including 300 Krispy Kreme donuts.
Then from 1 to 7 Saturday afternoon there will be an artists’ market.
Admission is free, and parking is available for free across Cooper at the lot that runs from Monroe to Union.
That block party sounds like fun… dammit, it’s the same day as Art on Tap though. I may try to make it out to the Artists’ Market on Saturday.
In other news… my trivia team The Rapscallions had possibly their worst showing ever last night. According to Pete the Trivia Guy, we finished in LAST place out of all the teams that were there for all 15 questions. We started off strong – on the first 9 questions we scored 37 points out of a possible 37, plus an extra 5 points for beer. On the last 9 questions, though, we scored a miserable 21 points out of a possible 98. It’s worth noting that Yoko showed up about halfway through the game, so maybe there is a “Yoko factor” after all.
Up early this morning… got a meeting in East Bumblefuck at 9 AM. Later today I’ll be rolling out my latest website, which is geared toward college students but will also be useful to people looking for a job (or looking for a better job).
Heh… I invented a drinking game based on another local blogger. It’s kinda mean though. Gotta think about whether I want to post it. Whether or not that post makes it live, I’ve got plenty more to say this week, so check back.
