do something: weekend april 9 - april 11

alrighty folks...here are some of the things going on this weekend:

if you have a teen planning to attend prom, lakewood public library is putting on a super cool event today from 10:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.  they have over 200 prom dresses that they are giving away for free!  that's right.  bring your daughter over and let her peruse the vast selection of gowns without you spending a penny.  surely, she will find the perfect one for that special night.

tremont artwalk is tonight from 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.  this event occurs the 2nd friday of every month (snow, sleet, or sunshine does not stop this recurring event!).  we still have yet to check this out.  hopefully we can come down tonight depending on how well the chunk monster napped.  i love, love the tremont and ohio city neighborhoods for its mixture of old homes and modern, thriving businesses.  if you've never been down this area, the artwalk is the perfect opportunity to visit this neighborhood.

opening night for bat boy: the musical is tomorrow at the hanna theatre at 7:30 p.m.  the show is put on by the great lakes theater festival and stage managed by my dear sister-in-law.  we originally saw this show 7 years ago, while visiting cleveland, in cain park as part of their summer season.  we were actually about 5 mintues (or so) late for the show, but since corrie was the stage manager she held the show until she knew we had arrived (how awesome is that?).  don't worry, corrie.  we wont' be late for tomorrow's show (and aaron can't wait to see fabio!).

feeling crafty?  stitch cleveland is offering an applique pillow workshop tomorrow, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., and sunday the 11th, 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.  cost is $65 and you should have registered by the 6th.  but if you call, maybe there are still spots available?  as a side note, they are also going to start a hand-sewing club in may (yay!!!).  it will be offered every first thursday from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.  i'm hoping i can drop by every once in a while to do some embroidery.

if you're like me and enjoy thrifting, garage sale-ing, or finding a great deal, you might find kids resale events exciting.  i already missed a bunch last month (so sad), but i'm going to keep my eye out for the ones this month.  and i'll be sure to share them here, too.  so, tomorrow, north olmsted early childhood pta will be having their spring kids resale event at st. clarence church from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.  early birds (8:00 - 9:00 a.m.) pay a $5 cover and $1 if you come after that.

inlet dance theatre and verb ballets will be featured at the cleveland public theatre this weekend as part of their danceworks program.  for more information on seeing inlet dance go here.  for more information on seeing verb ballets go here.  *sigh* i miss performing.

just a handful to get you started.  enjoy your weekend!
