let's go pick some liberries

thanks to my librarian cousin once removed, i bring you something that is too fun not to share.
way too fun.
library savings calculator.

i was displeased to see that there was a category for "puppets borrowed" and i'm glad my library would never set such monsters loose in my neighborhood.

the calculator says i save $719.40 per month. while i am indeed an avid borrower of books, movies, and CDs, that seems high. however, i am pretty chummy with more than one librarian.

it's the freakin weekend lets square dance

a prominent blogger known only by the handle "acaciao" (probably portuguese) informs us of the fabulous, free washington folk festival this weekend in glen echo park.

looking at the schedule just for saturday i see an old time string band, a family that plays celtic music, tibetan lute, acoustic blues, sea shanties, swedish music, bayou cajun band, nyckelharpa?!
oh NO there are puppets i will examine the map upon entrance to avoid these puffy demons.
romanian dance workshop? yes. bulgarian folk dance? eh maybe
flexible steel swords
yurt
banjo
razz'm jazz'm
steel orchestra
linda fang (fang)
klezmer

i am overwhelmed with joy. laura, whatever we were planning to do, i am doing this now. if anyone wants to join, i will be biking there, it is a lovely ride from georgetown along the canal/capital crescent trails.
THIS IS LIFE
