Hey, we’re going to see Galactic Saturday on Flying Dog’s front lawn. Why don’t you join us? To commemorate such awesomeness – and to call back to someone we quote often each week on this tiny thing called the Weekend Playlist – we thought we’d post this video of the band rocking and rolling with Macy Gray. Tickets are still on sale, friends. Why would you pass this up? Also on the final weekend of July, we have Inn It For The Kids, and if you recall last week, we spoke with Danny from Silence The Blind, who are going to be playing that fabulous event for that fabulous cause. Alive @ Five (we think) is still going down, even though the clouds look ominous as ominous can be (UPDATE: No Alive @ Five tonight). A bunch of hip-hop appears to be taking over Cafe Nola this weekend, and you know we like to support us some hip-hop. Stitch Early. J Berd. DJ Two Teks. Poetic Endurance. Get hip or get lost. SoulXchange, who never disappoints, will be at The Blue Side. A bunch of open mics are commencing this evening. And then there’s something called The Gintonics. And that’s cute. Come say hello if you see us Saturday night. We do have a beach house we can sell you in Idaho, remember. Now, as we like to reiterate from time to time – and as Macy Gray so often reminds us – get up, get out and do something. Viva la August.
