So much cool stuff is about to let loose. The Minnesota Fringe Festival starts tomorrow, for example–as I’ve already beat into the dead horses here on this site, I happen to be a big fan of this event. And, (click), there’s, like, at least two fashion shows tomorrow night. But lucky for the socialite sap likes of us, anticipation is often sweeter than the experience itself, and that’s why I offer this sample of moderate enticements to bide you through the p.m.:
If you be a hipster: Gnarls Barkley (note to the non-hipsters: sic!) is playing 7th Street Entry. These guys and Sharon Jones have helped put some funk in the Jetta.
Bohos / scavengers / the privileged poor: Catch the Soo Visual Art Center‘s annual rummage sale between noon and 6 p.m.
Canvassers / bike messengers / gourmets: There’s the Cinema and Civics event at Stevens Square Park, which pairs the feature film The Real Dirt On Farmer John with appearances by local gardeners (and The Brass Kings).
Throwbacks: Singin’ In The Rain at Chanhassen Dinner Theaters. I seriously want to see this show, if only to hear the catchy chime “Good Mornin’.” But sadly, on my next trip to Chan, which will happen sometime within the next few weeks, I’ll be accompanied by the boyfriend who’s dying to see The Male Intellect: An Oxymoron?. I wish I was kidding.
Exercise bulimics / lechers: The Lake Calhoun-Lake Harriet loop, on repeat. That’s why I’ll be running Lake Phalen!
