Friday is payday, so I'll be forgetting the workweek in a nice cozy bar someplace.
But Sat. night, Cory Branan will be at Della Rose's in Canton @ 9pm. Free show at that.

Tonight I'm playing bluegrass and folk on a porch in Takoma Park.
Saturday I'm DJing in the a.m., then the day is wide open. I'm supposed to go to a party, I think. But I'm tempted by Allan's Cory Branan info. (Tell Mrs. Ferguson "Hi" for me.)
Sunday is Thorton Wilder's The Matchmaker. Maybe I'll bum a beer off Sam, too.

Nothing definite...lots of "might see this" and "might do that." If the weather holds up, and I'm not too lazy, might try the Takoma Street Festival on Sunday for Chopteeth.

The Dirty Marmaduke Flute Squad plays tonight at The Sidebar! Should be awesome, especially since a sideshow act (RnR Freakshow) is doing their thing between sets.
