it's wednesday.

do you know what you're doing with your weekend?

thursday i'm going to the badass brooklyn tweetup at the bell house (149 7th st, brooklyn) with my honey to stand around with what will probably be a bunch of other geeks twittering on their iphones. seriously, there will be many rad people there that i want to be friends with! sponsored by one of my favorite blogs - FIPS and @AllGrownsUp.

friday i'm thinking about helping to raise some dough! there's a non-profit museum in brooklyn called the city reliquary that's doing an event called brother can you spare some rent. there will be a fortune teller, depression-era movies, dj's, old-timey alkeehol, and other recession-themed fun. i can think of no better place to kick off my weekend.

on saturday i'm thinking about swinging up to my old hood to check out funky child at alphabeta. it's a pop-up market where you can get all kinds of fun things that i have no business buying. i'll be happy to indulge my "oh wouldn't that be awesome" bone by perusing the offerings of artwork, photography, accesories, and gifts while enjoying the live painting and music.

then to round out the weekend and get a little dancing in (cause it isn't a weekend without dancing) ... on sunday i'll be checking out something brought to me by the brooklyn arts council. the sixth annual folk feet traditional dance showcase will be goin down. it shows off the dances of brooklyn's immigrants. while i don't think i'll see anyone there reppin north carolina (other than myself, of course) there will be people from grenada, china, india, and korea gettin down at brooklyn college's whitman theatre.

these, my friends, are the reasons i moved to brooklyn in the first place. a whole weekend of fun! and it's almost all free!
