Wind Down / Wound Up

Woo hoo! That short week went by fast. Unfortunately, we endured a lot of stormy weather during the week that has made me a little stir crazy. Luckily, weather.com tells me we should be having a lovely, dry weekend. As the work week winds down, WO+SF and crew are getting wound up for the weekend.

FRIDAY May 31

• I always loved The Show is the Rainbow and now Darren King has another band, Touch People. They are playing tonight at O'Leavers with Malaikat Dan Singa and Last Good Tooth.
• I always have to be in a very specific mood to be able to go go a movie. However, I am REALLY excited about this new film, Frances Ha, showing at Film Streams. Just so you know, Mindy Kaling tweeted about the movied today: "Frances Ha is my favorite movie this year. Depicts female friendship in the most accurate & funny & loving way." So now I MUST see this movie.

SATURDAY June 1

• It's that time of year again that Taste of Omaha rolls around. Some of Omaha's favorite restaurants get together at Lewis & Clark Landing and dish out their culinary creations. We went last year and we will absolutely be gettin our grub on Saturday afternoon as well. 
• Once again, Benson closes down its streets for the Benson Beer Fest. It's simple, pay $30.00, get unlimited beer from breweries all over. We almost wish we drank beer just so we could go.
• Don't forget to get your fresh veggies, bread, and flowers at the Omaha Farmer's Market. 

SUNDAY June 2

• O'leavers is having a great show to end your weekend with! Simon Joyner & The Ghosts play with The So-So Sailors.
• If you missed Saturday's market you are still in luck! Head to Aksarben for their Sunday market. I usually go with my mom and Ollie and we get a macaron and a coffee and Jones Bros afterwards. It's a lovely, calming way to spend Sunday mornings.
