If I were in your shoes...

Just procrastinating another 10 minutes before I get to work... Here is my guide to what I might do if I was living in your city this weekend:

Baltimore, MD
Thursday 6/8 - Loose Caboose at The Waterfront, 9pm
This is Tony Waddy's band with Gavin Elder and I am sure they will play some excellent covers of songs you know and maybe some original songs. I once saw them perform an excellent version of Ebony and Ivory. For you newbies, The Waterfront is in Fells Point on Thames.
Saturday 6/10 - HonFest in Hampden on The Ave (where else could it be) from 11am-8pm


Cambridge, MA
If I wasn't getting ready for the Saturday Ball in Portland (see below), I might check out this reading:
Friday 6/9 Elijah Wald at Porter Square Books, 7 pm
Apparently (I learned this via the Phoneix) he has a book called,
Riding with Strangers: A Hitchhiker’s Journey.
Saturday 6/10 - Initiative for the Renaming of Names in Cambridge at Winthrop Park, Harvard Square, 12pm
From their website:
Members of the public are invited to RENAME places in Cambridge, MA, for the publication of a new map of The City Formerly Known as Cambridge.


Portland, ME
Saturday 6/10 - Craziness in the Old Port
I think I would likely end up hanging out at Casco Bay Books just to watch the folks heading off to the Heavy Metal Fetish Ball at Geno's and then eating some rock and roll sushi (new and improved with Kung Fu) but I would probably check out Bindlestiff Family Cirkus at SPACE @ 8pm.

San Francisco, CA
International Arts and Crafts exhibit at the De Young Musuem (through 6/18)
Looks like a great exhibit of objects mainly from the Victoria and Albert Museum.
It isn't happening yet, but I would also mark my calendar to go see the Mathew Barney exhibit at the SFMOMA which features his first colaboration with his wife, Bjork starting on June 23rd. His stuff is weird without Bjork, with her, I can only imagine...


Kansas City, MO
Friday 6/9 - Found Magazine Tour @ Record Bar in Westport, 9pm
Zoe and Isaac's friend, Davy (& David?) shows up in KC before heading to LA (to perform at a McSweeney's benefit on Saturday).

So what should I do this weekend?
