Caught In The Whirlwind
Busy Busy August
Well, it seems like August is shaping up to be an extremely busy month for me. He’s a rundown of what’s going on (so far) this month:
Dream Theater playing Pull Me Under at Wallingford
August 4th – Progressive Nation 09
First up on the list of August events is a concert. Specifically Progressive Nation 09, featuring Dream Theater, Zappa Plays Zappa, Bigelf and Scale The Summit
I’m pretty excited about this show. It’s been a while since I’ve gone to a concert first off and second the new DT album is extremely good which always makes me even more excited. Finally, I’ve been listening to some Bigelf and Scale the Summit and I’ve been pretty impressed with what I’ve heard. There was a change in the openers, but I can’t say I’m terribly dissapointed with the end result.
Sterling Renaissance Festival
August 9th – Sterling Renaissance Festival
I had originally not planned to go to the Sterling Renaissance Festival this year, but my sister contacted me recently and she really wanted to go. So plans were made for us to go either August 9th or August 16th depending on if it’s going to rain either day.
Hopefully we get good weather as I’m really looking forward to going. The two weekends are themed as Gypsy weekend which is new this year so it’d be neat to go see it and Wine Lovers weekend which will work out as well.
Whetstone Creek at Whetstone State Park
August 15th – Family Gathering
Instead of doing a christmas eve party on my mom’s side of the family this year, it was decided to instead move the traditional family gathering over to the summer and head out to the official family campground, Whetsone Gulf State Park.
This is another “I hope we get good weather” event, but I’m hopeful it’ll work out. It’ll be nice to get together with everybody and hang out. With the option of getting away and wandering the park for a bit if necessary too. Should be a fun time had by all, assuming of course that the weather cooperates nicely for us.
- August 28th - The State FairYet again my friends and I are planning to hit the state fair. This year though we’re going out in the afternoon (after lunch) hitting all the building stuff, just eating dinner there and then exploring the wine tasting stuff in the evening. Last year we discovered we really liked it when it was getting dark out and the crowd was thinning out so we’re planning the trip to avoid some of the crowd. Yet again, I hope we get good weather this year.This also helps mitigate a bit of the costs of going considering we’re there for less time and eating less of the overpriced (but tasty) foodstuffs.
