After 2 years of going to Sasquatch, I decided I need a break. So with the boyfriend gone and my 2 good friends off in various parts of the world, I’m actually kind of solo for the first time in months. If you have the same predictament, here’s what you (and I) can do:

-Pick up my SIFF tickets. I’m seeing Young People Fucking, 32A and Visioneers.

-Taking a swimming exercise class at Medgar Evers. This was my pool back in my Capitol Hill days. I’m excited to go with a knitting friend and flair our arms around without hitting any of the 90 year olds taking the class with us. Admission means we get full usage of the sauna. Mmmm….

-Go to Anthropologie because they’re having a big *sale, as is Club Monaco and I’m crossing my fingers that Le Frock is too. I will most likely buy nothing. Thus is the curse for being cheap.

-See Ladytron at The Showbox! I’m actually not a big fan of their latest album, but I’m just excited to dance all crazy by myself. And I like that The Showbox has enough room where you can do this, unlike Neumos, where I always feel like I’m being stuffed in a corner somewhere.

-Go to Northwest Folklife Festival. I LOVE this festival. I went to it for about an hour last year by myself and had such a good time. I’m a sucker for hippie music, nice people talking about hemp and lots of kids singing in a choir. Sure the weather is shitty now, but there’s hope for the weekend and I’m thinking this will be the perfect Sunday activity.

-Hit up a craft swap and hope it doesn’t rain because I’ll be near Alki Beach and I would actually like to lay out for once.

-See Indiana Jones at Cinerama! Will everyone else be doing this on a Monday at 4? I hope not, cause I’m usually not good with pre-ordering tickets.  

Wow, maybe I should have a weekend by myself more often. Have a nice, safe, fun, fabulous weekend everyone. I know I will.

*Wesa just informed me about this is also Ikea’s Memorial Day Weekend Tax-Free Sale. I think I rather put my hand in boiling water than deal with the Ikea crowd, but to each his own. Thanks Wesa!
