Why Don’t You…?

Charlotte Gainsbourg is kicking off her first US tour and I will be in Hawaii during her SF show! I am so bummed! I am missing all the great small warm-up shows around the bay area leading up to Coachella. Here are the dates for those of you who might be interested:

04-11 Vancouver, British Columbia – Vogue Theatre
04-12 Victoria, British Columbia – Alix Goolden Hall
04-14 Seattle, WA – Crocodile Cafe
04-15 Portland, OR – Wonder Ballroom
04-17 San Francisco, CA – Palace of Fine Arts
04-18 Indio, CA – Coachella
04-21 Chicago, IL – Park West
04-23 Montreal, Quebec – Olympia
04-24 Montreal, Quebec – Olympia
04-25 New York, NY – Webster Hall

And, for those of you in France:

07-16 La Rochelle, France – Le Festival Francofolies

PS, for those of you in the bay, Phoenix are playing a show in Santa Cruz on 4/17. Also, Thom Yorke (Atoms For Peace) will be in Oakland at the Fox Theater on April 14/15.

Now, onto the weekend! Why don’t you…

  • Take a peek at these alphabet rings? I had been lusting after Catbird’s rings a few weeks back, but these are $70 cheaper!
  • Buy the new Gorillaz album? It’s getting good reviews.
  • Make monkey bread?
  • Answer a few questions and find out what type (as in font) you are?
  • Check out this cute (and very hungry) squirrel at Shake Shack in NYC? And while you’re at it, read my favorite Craigslist posting of all time.

What do you have spooled up for the weekend? I am off to Ashland with Todd and his parents. We meet up with his sister and her husband each March to see some plays. Todd and I will be seeing Well and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and babysitting little Alma while the others see Hamlet.

I am really excited to visit my favorite shop in town, Prize. The proprietor has excellent taste, and offers up a beautiful assortment of cards, books and gifts. This is where I picked up my “Keep Calm” poster before they were cool, and last year I bought the cutest vintage French flashcards. I can’t wait to see what she has!

Remember, the deadline for entering the Lost & Fawned giveaway is this Sunday at 11:59pm. Make sure and enter if you haven’t already done so!

Have a great one, lovelies.

It sounds like you have a nice weekend planned; have a great time! We’re expecting anywhere from 2-4 inches of rain here tomorrow – it seems like it’s been one weather emergency after another lately – so my boyfriend and I plan to get a head start on our spring cleaning. So exciting, I know. And Sunday I will spend the day catching up on school work I put off during my spring break.

Thank you so much for the “What type are you” link – what a lovely thing. I found out I am Bifur, which I had never heard of but which is absolutely gorgeous. It has made my day!
