The Bass Geek - Words about Music, Circuitry, and Fountain Square

And because it’s the weekend of the jazz festival . . .

. . . it's raining. Joy. I stood out in the rain for the one that was so infamously rained out a few years ago (I'd planned time off from work and everything for it), and I will probably end up doing so again (unless my better and drier judgment wears off). If I'd chucked the whole thing the year of the rain-out, I would have missed the Cassandra Wilson show that I still rank as one of the better shows of my life (simply mesmerizing).

So we'll see. I'm leaning 60/40 right now and considering sensible footwear.

Fountain Square Music This Weekend

Radio Radio has a huge weekend coming up - Mandy Marie and the Cool Hand Lukes tonight, Flounder Bash '08 (featuring Dan Glenzing, Stealing Volume and Creepin' Charley and the Boneyard Orchestra) tomorrow night, and the LonPaul Memorial Benefit show on Sunday. That last event features a huge number of local artists paying tribute to the memory of Mr. Ellrich, with dual shows at Second Story in the Murphy Building and Radio Radio. Check their website for the full lineup.

Sam's Saloon features the Standard Recording Co. Showcase with Pontiak and Wye Oak tonight. The heavy music is reserved for Saturday, when The Reanimated, Shriek, and Order of the Black Hand take the stage.

It's Swing Night tonight at the Fountain Square Theater, as The Stardusters play all of those normal swing-dancing tunes, I suppose. Lessons at 7:30, and then everybody kicks it in earnest at 9.

Deano's Vino has the Shirtless Biddles tonight, with the jazzier sounds of Doris Davis tomorrow.

If you can find time to squeeze in a trip to Fountain Square in between the myriad of jazz, art, independent music, pride, and Italian festivals going on this weekend, it would be much appreciated. Thank you, and good day.
