Another week...

I nearly forgot that I've been keeping a blog.  It's been THAT good of a week! I must say though, everything I blog about for the upcoming week, I feel compelled to do, so it must be doing its job.  I'm getting out and seeing things. 
Tuesday, after getting lost for the umpteenth time in the farms of New Jersey, I made my way to Open Mic night at Grover's Mill Coffee House.  It's actually a pretty neat looking place, and had a little more variety in their musicians than my previous foray. No vegan goods, unless you count soy milk.  Which I don't.  I didn't stay too long though, so not too much to say about it.  A lot of high schoolers hanging out, I was feeling old and out of place ;-)
Friday night I went over to the Cranstock Music Festival.  Again, neat looking set up.  They were in Village Park in Cranbury, NJ and had tiki torches set up all along the circumference of the park, as well as Christmas lights hanging from trees.  My only problem was each group had an hour on stage, so I was there for a little over an hour and half, and only really saw one group perform.  A harp/guitar duo, and I didn't really care for the woman's voice.  So, I read my play for acting class by tiki torch light, and left.  More of an interesting place to go with someone to talk with, or a family, or a flashlight. 
Saturday I went out to Cafe Improv at The Paul Robeson Center for the Arts in Princeton.  I had gone the previous month and was impressed, so I made it a priority to go again this month.  I was, once again, equally blown away by the amount of talent I was exposed to for a measly $1.  The show was from 7-10pm (running a little over, as it had last month), and featured 8 different acts, all musical acts, although I guess they also allow comedy, poetry, and dance as well.  One of my favorites was The Raven Rock Rounders, a band that plays self-described "good ol' American back-porch pickin'...tunes".  I loved their sound, and they did an awesome cover of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" with all 4 joining in together on "...People just like it better that way." I intend to go back here as often as possible, and eventually join in on the fun and play some of my own tunes. I'll keep you posted on that one. 
As for next week, there doesn't appear to be too much going on, at least not too much I am either A) interested in or B) rich enough to attend. 
Here's what I do have:
Tuesday, Sept. 28:
      International Folk Dance Class & Dance @ 7:00 pm.  $3 (1st Class FREE)
Wednesday, Sept. 29:
      Westminster Faculty Recital Featuring Organist Ken Cowan @ 7:30pm in Bristol Hall Chapel (FREE)
Friday, Oct. 1:
      The Pennington Players Presents "Seussical the Musical" @ 7:30pm in Kelsey Theatre at MCCC ($12-$16)
Saturday, Oct. 2:
      Wendy takes a trip. Why not? I've got the whole day free, and I'm sure I won't have TOO much homework! I'm thinking either Philadelphia or the Lambertville/New Hope area, as I've been told by numerous people that I would enjoy it.  We'll see...and I'll be back next Sunday to let you know what happened. 
Just please don't let me get lost this time...
