do something: weekend march 19 - 21

i don't know if you're like me, but some weekends i feel like i need to get out and do stuff.  something.  anything.  as long as it's cool, local and doesn't involve going to the mall (this was our major go-to activity when we first moved here because we had no idea how cool and happening cleveland was at the time).

so here are a few things going on this weekend:

CIFF started last night and goes on until next sunday the 28th.  we need to check this out one of these years.

bela dubby has a free show tonight starting at 9 p.m. along with other events for the rest of the weekend.  like cereal saturday from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.  fun.

78th street studios kicks off their Third Friday event.  free studio shows and art exhibits, though i'm sure items on display can be purchased.

give your hART to haiti silent art auction tonight to benefit the children of haiti via save the children.  from 6:00 - 10:00 p.m.  it will be held on the first floor of the 78th Street Studios.  cleveland handmade is donating a basket of handmade items by local artists (i had wanted to make a donation, but didn't get my act together fast enough).


the ink well show at the pop shop gallery runs tomorrow from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.  they will be feautring art work from local tattoo artists.  how can we miss out on this one?  we are planning to go with the kids.  for the adults, after party is at mullens on madison (next door).

soul food: feed the hungry feed the soul auction/fundraiser benefiting the hunger relief efforts of trinity lakewood community outreach will be tomorrow night 6:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. at local girl gallery.  i made a couple of donations, along with our friend robert, the cleveland indians, 2 ticket vouchers from AirTran to list a few.  after we put the kids to bed, we will be making an appearance to show our support...and maybe win those ticket vouchers (we could really use those for ty's trips to seattle!).

kid fest will be this sunday 2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. at harding middle school gymnasium in lakewood, oh.  free and fun for the whole family!  we will be there ready to play.

got anything more to add?

i'm sure there are other things i missed, but thought i'd highlight the ones close to my neighborhood.

happy weekend!
