This is the place for bands to see and be seen. Two stages are set up meaning that while one band is playing, another band is getting ready. So there's non-stop band music. It's set in a park that used to be an orchard by the splash pool.

There were so many fantastic yachts. The black one is named Sea Force One. What a great name. Here's the third and last part of our Venice trip report. <a href="http://reisewarnung.blogspot.com/2013/06/venice-part-3.html" target="_blank">http://reisewarnung.blogspot.c...t-3.html</a>
Originally Posted By Labuda tomorrow morning, mowing the lawn and then tojmorrow or Sunday afternoon, seeing Fast & Furious 6, then Sunday night I will be glued to the tv watching my Spurs hopefully win game #2 there in Miami so they can finish things up in San Antonio. Oh, and I'll likely play some poker tonight or tomorrow night, if not both.
Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes O.K. I have to give a brief trip report for last weekend, June 8 & 9. Sacramento was having a record breaking heat wave and it turned out to be 109 degrees on Sturday. No problem, because DLFan8 called me up on friday and said "Wanna go to San Francisco?" Done. I finally made my first visit to the Walt Disney Family Museum. Incredible. Then to the beach. It was pretty cold so DLFan8 brought a Sacramento River Cats windbreaker for me to wear. Later, when we left the beach and went to Pier 39 I met several other people from Sacramento who fled the heat. It was a terrific day. Sunday the temperature dropped by about 20 degrees. Monday it was in the seventies. Weird.

Originally Posted By Labuda Not much - just poker and stuff, probably. *shrug* Next Tuesday the 18th, though, I'll be seeing Dixie's Tupperware Party, a show that looks AWESOME and stars a dude in drag (Dixie) who is the #1 seller of Tupperware in the country... which is believable based on how much she tours!

Also, I will hopefully get some good exercise in (running, swimming, etc). What are you all up to this weekend?

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Well, since this weekend is the official longest day of the year, The Scandinavian Centre is having its annual celebration. Light is very important to the Scandinavian culture. My concert band will play an outdoor concert as part of the festivities. Finns, Norwegians, Scandinavians and Icelandic people will have a bonfire and lots of BBQ'ing too.
Originally Posted By dagobert Tomorrow is an official holiday over here and so I took Friday off as well to have a long weekend. I will watch as many World Cup games as possible and on Sunday I'm going to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Austria. Unfortunately I didn't get any tickets, so I have to watch the race on TV.

Originally Posted By iamsally Awe, I understand. Just went through withdrawal myself recently. This weekend we are heading up to Ukiah to visit our son and his girlfriend to seriously start looking at property. We are so ready to get out of this valley; and so are the goats!!!!!

Originally Posted By Rivkah86 wow, Ukiah! Hope you find some perfect property iamsally This weekend I am going to do some fabric dying/sewing that I've been meaning to get around to for the longest time.
Originally Posted By iamsally Well, we have been goofing off quite a bit lately so this weekend has to be spent addressing some much overdue house and yard work. If we are good; next weekend we get to go fishing. We were really happy with our fact finding mission last weekend. Mostly we drove all over the area with our son and his girlfriend to see what areas look good. Now we can refine our search.
