This was a hit last week. But I don't know if you guys were able to coordinate anything.
Ideally, Whatchagonnadothisweekend should be a springboard into (gasp!) a night of Midnight Sun mingling.
So share your plans with me. Mine are as follows: 24 hours spent covering both days of the Virgin Mobile Festival.
You can read about it on our shiny new Virgin Fest blog.

Oh, how I love the ComCon! Lunchtime is never so glorious as the weekend of ComCon.
This weekend is our softball tourney, so if we win on Saturday, we play all day, both days, at Carroll Park. After our games on Saturday we'll head to Little Havana as a team to celebrate the end of the season. Tonight, going to dinner for my sister's birthday. I do not plan to consider my day of athletic endurance vis a vis this evening's wine consumption. I plan to catch some Olympics this weekend, too.

Going to go to No Idea, then Don't Know... Try to get the bartenders to give me as many free drinks and shots as possible. Then I am going to walk out on my tab and end up at J&P Carryout. Kabbitz a little with Pete and my boo with one tooth. Then I will pass out on my sofa fully clothed. Wash, Rinse, Repeat Saturday night.

evan, that's exactly what i meant. i walked through the harbor the past couple days and it was good people watching then with the attendees already arriving. this weekend is going to be the jackpot though.
i wonder if the females make use of their costumes during bedroom activities? my imagination says yes.

Gym, then a fund raising HH tonight at Mex. Company softball tourney tomorrow morning and then Vfest in time for Cat Power on the North Stage.
Sunday: Gym in the morning, try to sneak into the Vfest for BRMC @ noon, then a road trip to Charles county in the afternoon.

Working Friday night.
Since I never made it over to the other side of the harbor last Saturday. I'm going to see Will Hill this week at Waterfront.
Sunday, Virginfest if I can score some cheap (free) tickets.

I'm having 3 parties to celebrate my 30th birthday!

Friday I worked. I tried an experiment while there...I didn't drink. And I was the worst bartender EVER. We won't be doing that again. Today I will sacrifice my afternoon at the pool in order to pack for the beach. Then it's off to work I go. After work Im heading to the beach (as is most of the staff because we are closed on Tuesday) were I will bask in the sun and drink copious amounts of alcohol. I also will be purchasing David Byrne tickets at some point this weekend. I hope everyone has fun at V-Fest.
