!! FLASH — you're invited !!
Thursday 5/8 — lunch somewhere in Rainier Valley, followed by Nightshift (1981) at the Beacon Cinema. Please note, this movie is NOT directed by Ron Howard, and stars neither Michael Keaton nor Henry Winkler.
Good thing President Trump is ending all that phony research into combating and surviving man-made climate change, which certainly isn't real.
There's a hint of sarcasm in the above, if you can't tell.
The highlight of my past week was the concert at Trinity Parish Episcopal Church, and the Punk Rock Flea Market, where I stocked up on punk rock fleas.
Here's what I'm up to this week, weather and my laziness permitting. As always, whether I do or don't do these things depends on my mood when I wake up that day, and also on whether anyone wants to come with me.If you're family, friend, former friend, acquaintance, arch-enemy, or
simply
Doug-curious, you're invited. Click the links for details, or drop me a note!
• All events are 'Dutch treat'.
• Please remember the basics of Doug.
Tomorrow, Friday 5/2: breakfast with the family at Little Pat's. Try the chicken-fried steak.
Saturday 5/3, I'm undecided between the dog show at Foster/White Art Gallery and a minor league pro basketball game at Royal Brougham Pavilion. Crowds make me uncomfortable, so it'll probably be the dog show... but the basketball game is free.
Sunday 5/4, there's the Seattle Sister Cities Short Film Festival, at the Polish Home Association.
Monday 5/5 and Tuesday 5/6, I have reservations for my recliner, and plan to do exactly nothing.
Wednesday 5/7, I'll be at a protest. Sure, nothing is accomplished, and it's almost certainly too late to prevent the atrocities Trump is planning, but it's nice hanging out with people who still believe in truth, justice, and the American way.
Thursday 5/8, a week from today, it'll be either piano jazz at Jules Maes Saloon or brand-new silent films at Seattle Center.
And then, another post here, with another week of invitations for anyone who'd like to accompany me!
If you're planning something or going somewhere, and you'd like a fat man with flatulence to tag along, I'm that guy. All invitations will be cheerfully considered, possibly even accepted.
Hoping to see you soon!
