Three Rivers Arts Festival

This is an excellent year to be a resident of the city during the Three Rivers Arts Festival. A partial lineup of performers includes: (the heavenly, divine) Raul Malo, Buckwheat Zydeco, Mason Jennings, Gov't Mule, eels, Alejandro Escovedo, The Tragically Hip and Roseanne Cash. All of the performances are free.

And there is all the art, sculptures and junk for sale in the Artist's Market, performances in the downtown galleries and theatres and street performers.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to see Raul Malo or Buckwheat Zydeco. My work schedule has been beyond weird the past two weeks, with multiple starts and stoppages in testing. This weekend includes a Saturday bridal shower and a full day of work on Sunday.

I am disappointed that I will not have the opportunity to see Raul Malo. I saw him ten years ago in Greensboro when he was the lead singer of the Mavericks and have been swooning over him ever since.
