Hi there,
A quick hello before beginning the long holiday weekend. We have visitors arriving very soon and lots of plans are in the works. I'm looking forward to learning a little more about the city of brotherly love -- I find that I explore a lot more when I'm showing people around.
Also, if you live in Philly and know of any amazing spots or happenings this weekend that aren't to be missed, please pass them along.
In other news, last night I met up with some friends at the ICA to see the Sun Ra exhibit and later watch the Sun Ra Arkestra perform, and guess who won the Arkestra raffle? Well, wouldn't you know, it was me! I do not remember ever winning a raffle, so I was really surprised to get the call this morning. Not exactly sure of what loot I won (a big basket of stuff), but I am looking forward to biking over to the ICA to bring it home.
Loving this story I saw in the Times today. I hope to have a little cottage fixer-upper someday...
For starters, I would put the new print that just arrived up on the wall first thing.
Have a great weekend.
Be safe with those sparklers and roman candles,
-l.
