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.
