This IS in the Religion Forum! I had to curb my natural inclination to “say it like it is.!”

Im going to veg out on movies for the rest of the weekend. I'm jealous. Can't remember when I last did that, though I vaguely recall attempting a LOTR marathon last winter.
Folklife is fun --entertaining music, seeing friends-- even if we aren't performing this year. But the lineup looks a little slim this year, if only in our interest categories. And the amounts they're asking for donations are skyrocketing -- just a very few years ago it was $2 overall, this year it's $10/person/day.
Don't know how much of the increase is due to prior mismanagement and how much to the Seattle Center raking off what they can, but I sense Folklife's days are numbered unless they find another venue, and the only one large enough is the King County Fairgrounds, way the heck out in Enumclaw, and you can forget trying to take PC public transport out there.

I’m not feeling all that well, and will do a minimum of “work,” just in case. I don’t want to make it worse, so I figure movies are a safe bet.
I’ve bought several of them from the 2fer bin at Wally World, and have been putting off watching them. I think this weekend is a good time to drag them out.
Too bad about Folklife. Maybe you should ask discreetly why the hugh increase.

I’m sorry, but I really have to go. I’ll see if I can breathe some life into this thread tomorrow...

Too bad about Folklife. Maybe you should ask discreetly why the hugh increase. In part it's due to prior fiscal mismanagement. But it's also in Seattle, the Center is run by libs, and they've been ripping off Folklife for a LONG time to pay for other programs.
I've printed out their schedule; we'll go at least one day to say we've been there, but their incessantly increasing aggressive fundraising efforts (a different button for sale each day of Folklife, for example, as opposed to the former one button per Folklife) is devaluing the whole thing to where in short order we just might not bother.
(They're taxing vendors pretty heavily too, as we hear from a friend who's much further left than we are right, but we enjoy seeing him here. Though every year he says this is his last -- in business he's a closet conservative.)
