OK, so listening to a bunch of bands online today and reading posts from some of my favorite bloggers around town has me thinking about all the cool stuff I want to do this spring, culture-wise. I'm usually cool with checking this stuff out by myself, but it is always (ok, sometimes) preferable to do it with someone. So, if any of the stuff below strikes your fancy or interest, give me holler and we can maybe meet up. (FYI - In case you are a bit dense, the bold stuff is definitely on my calendar - the rest are events I can be easily talked/arm-twisted into.)

Thank you for putting these events on our radar, especially the Obi Best/Muttering Retreats show and the Asterisk Opening -- we will most definitely be joining you for those*

My pleasure, K/J!
Also, I just added a few new films to the list today, too, playing in a cool series CSU has going on this spring.
What's the deal with that reading thing at CSU on the 26th? Huh? And that Bela Dubby thing (since I'm five minutes away from that)?
Open Mike night at Edison's tonight! You will not be there because of some semblance of sickness, but hey, I reminded you! I did my part!
The reading thing is part of the CSU poetry center series that almost always brings in awesome young "academic" poets to town. And the Bela Dubby thing is super cool, they have a really well-thought out film series sponsored by some local design group. I only put on one event from each because my schedule conflicts with every other reading at CSU and every other film at bela dubby. But if either thing is your cultural jam, check out the respective website for sure!
