How awesome is this weekend going to be ? Our good friends over at WTNH are calling for some awesome weather, with just a chance of some stuff on Sunday. make sure you check out Matt Scott, Ted Koppy and Annie Rourke on Good Morning Connecticut for all the info you need. They really are as nice in person as they appear on TV. Okay Matt, where’s my 20 bucks?
A couple of fund raisers going on this weekend. Sydney Rocks at Daniels Street on Sunday, and The Festival of Fun on Saturday at the Jerome Harrison School in North Branford. These are two fun and easy ways for all of us to help out worthy causes.
If you want to be indoors then there are a ton of options here. Cirque du Soleil’s “OVO” is in Hartford from now until mid July, and as I mentioned, it iss so worth the trip. If comedy is the mood for the weekend, then The Kate has 3 showings of the Comedy Zone. On the music end, you can head out to Margaritaville and check out Wicked Peach. The Kathy Thompson Band is at C.J. Sparrows in Cheshire, D.W.Ditty has an acoustic thing going on at Whitfield’s in Guilford,The Mojo Boys are throwing it down at The Old School Salon in New Haven, and my choice for the night is The Taxmen at Donahue’s in Madison.
Although both of these festivals are going on all weekend, I can’t think of a better way to spend a lazy Saturday. New Haven has Arts and Ideas, and this is going on for the next 2 weeks. The whole of downtown Branford will be turned into one big festival. Literally. All the merchants on Main Street, the town green, and up and down Montowese Street will be hosting the Branford Festival. Food,vendors, music, road race, and just about anything else you can think of will be going on, so come on out and enjoy all that Branford has to offer.
Saturday night the music scene is pretty amazing, so I am just going to list a few. The complete list can be found on the site. Stephan Hartman is acoustic and at Augur’s , Roxy Perry is at Cherry Street in Wallingford, Borrowed Toys is at Uncle Kranky’s in Jewett City, The Total Hacks are at Blue Point Bar and Grill, and The Buzz Monkey’s are at Hot Tamales in Seymour. My pick for The Rock and Roll Caravans sto.p? Well anyone who knows me can call this one. Christine Ohlman and Rebel Montez at The Country Tavern. All bets are off, and the party is on. This is where the party will be.
And don’t forget to support your local. Farmer’s markets everywhere. So get some of the freshest products anywhere, and help keep our state farmers. As always, be safe, be smart, and if you see me Out and About, make sure you come up and say hi.
