I’m doing another show. It’s not a relaunch. It’s not a CD Release party. It’s not really to celebrate anything in particular. Just a great night of music. Eight bands. Eight bucks. August 8 at 8. Watch this space for the full details….soon.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the worst Events & Entertainment blogger ever. Right now, I don’t attend all that many events, and I’m afraid that as a result, my writing is not all that entertaining (see what I did there?). That should all be changing soon. Ever since I started writing in this space, I have been living in Boiling Springs. In reality, my little town is not all that far from Harrisburg, but it is an inconvenient drive when I want to go out and do something. For instance, this weekend I’d love to come to Harrisburg, have dinner at Bayou and grab a few drinks somewhere. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like driving home, changing, rounding up company, driving back to Harrisburg and eventually driving home again. Luckily, in the next few weeks I’ll be moving into my sweet new loft apartment in Lemoyne, and then I’ll be a little bit more fun. Bear with me. If I were going out, tonight I would probably consider checking out French Canadian proto-punk band Les Breastfeeders (charming name, I know. That’s them up there in the picture) at Spy Club. Or I might have gone to the Harrisburg Italian Festival for the homemade spaghetti dinner. Only $7 per person. Seriously, if you’ve ever waited an hour and a half for a table at the Olive Garden, it’s crazy not to go to this. Homemade bread! The Festival continues Saturday with a bocce tournament, which I would love to play in. I consider myself to be a formidable bocce player. Also Saturday is the Fort Halifax Music Festival, which is headlined by Beatlemania Now. If you’re looking for something a bit unique, the 4th Annual McGinley School Feile will be at the Holiday Inn Harrisburg East. It’s an Irish dance competition, and I can almost guarantee you’ve never been to one of those. The City Islanders are also at home against Western Mass. Sunday, is the Whitaker Center Wedding Showcase, so, um, that should be fun, right? There’s also a flower walk at Wildwood Lake for those who love to be outside, and the Downtown Comi-Con for people who don’t. Juuusssstttt kidding, it looks like an awesome event. As for me, I don’t care what I do, but I need Mexican food and I need it now. Random craving. Have fun kids.
