The Pilgrim Congress

This isn’t actually a scary post, I don’t know why I titled it like that.  I just felt like it and this is my site, so I went with it.  I am drunk with freedom!

Anywho, I was actually planning on writing a little bit about what’s going on this weekend in New England.  I’m going to be attending a top secret event* in Maine.  I would tell you about it, but you’re probably not cleared to attend.

*Its actually a bridal shower.  I just wanted to sound important.  I’m sad.

Back on task!  What to do this weekend:

• 25th Annual WOKQ Chowderfest, Portsmouth, NH: If you don’t dig chowder we can’t be friends.  And you have to move out of New England.  Sorry, I don’t make the rules.  So head to the chowderfest and be happy you live in New England.  Or else.
• Harpoon Summer Session, Boston, MA: BEER!  MUSIC!  BEER!  RUNNING!  MUSIC!  BEER!  NAKED LADIES!  Wait, what?  I got overly excited, there are no naked ladies.  Don’t be too disappointed though, there is beer and music… and running, but only if you’re into that sort of thing.  If you happen to watch the 5 miler please yell, “MELISSA IS AWESOME!!” from the sidelines.  Why?  Because its true.
• Pawtucket Red Sox, Pawtucket, RI:  Lets face it, its really frigging expensive to go to a Boston Red Sox game, so why not save a little money and a trip into the city and go see the Paw Sox?  Disclaimer:  I hate baseball, this is being added under duress.  Duress is also known as The Husband.
• World Ocean Day, Deer Isle, ME:  You may have heard that I’m an awesome (and modest) kayaker.  Have you heard that?  Okay, just wanted to make sure.  Well, this event promises to be full of ocean related fun, kayaking included!  And don’t be intimidated, I won’t be there to kick your ass.  World Ocean Day is safe.
• Connecticut Film Festival, Danbury, CT:  I’m all hip and shit so I love this stuff.  No, but really, it looks like a pretty awesome time- movies, music, and I’m sure there will be a ton of people in skinny jeans.  The better to check out asses with my dear.
• Ben & Jerry’s Concert On The Green, Shelburne, VT:  Emmy Lou Harris, Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin, Buddy Miller and a pretty kick ass venue.  Come on Vermonters!  You know you want it.  In case you couldn’t tell, I’m all out of funny laugh laugh jokes.  My brain hurts.
