Day of Music

This weekend, the thing I care mostly deeply about is the Macy’s Day of Music, which is really part of Minnesota Orchestra’s Sommerfest, in case you got fooled by the name. Check this cool lineup: The Melismatics play at 10 p.m., The New Standards at 11, Low (oh-my-god, oh-my-god) at midnight. The good thing about having injured my foot is that, normally, I would have to be waking up at some uncivilized hour tomorrow morning, so that I get in a long-ass, marathon training run before the mercury hits ninety. This would require being early-to-bed tonight, and I wouldn’t let myself indulge in a beer or two either. But now that I’m kicked up on the sofa and calling myself an invalid, there’s absolutely no reason to skip the Day of Music, one of my favorite events all year.

Oh, and uh, happy Bastille Day, too.
