Orwell versus Bodybuilders ... how to choose?
I’ll start: I plan on doing very little this weekend. This evening, I might try to catch Music On Main, since it’s free, but I can’t say that the Nightcrawlers’ promise of “old school R&B” really excites me very much. I like R&B a good deal, but I’m always skeptical of cover acts. Maybe I’ll catch a movie instead, if one strikes my fancy. Regardless, I’ll definitely get a bit further into the book I’m currently reading, A Collection of Essays by George Orwell. Of course, I’ll also be working on the Spark and a few freelance assignments this weekend. That’s pretty much it for me.
I am slightly tempted to go to the Carolina Supernatural Bodybuilding & Figure Championships at the Memorial Auditorium, largely because I’ve never been to one and am slightly curious about what goes on there, but odds are that I won’t bother. Plus, while I find the idea novel, I don’t find it likely to be $20 worth of novelty. If I got comp’d in or something, maybe I’d change my mind.
How about you? I don’t know how anyone could possibly have a more exciting weekend planned than the one I’ve just outlined. I mean, I may end up leaving the boundaries of my house for hours at a time.
Let’s hear what you’ll be up to.

I am planning on going with my husband to the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival in Tryon and spending the day up there. I can taste it now! Also Rock ‘n Roll Reunion is performing on Saturday afternoon (I think)–that’s Tom Crabtree and Jack Roper’s band…a great Spartanburg act.
I will leave a ticket for you if you promise to go and write it up.
p.s.
No drinking before you go, only later when writing.
Let me know soon.
Swimming pool.
Work.
Ugg.
My brother-in-law plays in Rock ‘n Roll Reunion (with Tom…Jack’s not in the band anymore). We should totatlly go see them. BBQ and cold beer always sounds good. That’s a great event, the Blue Ridge BBQ festival and always a lot of fun. Totally recommend.
Also, I need to weed the little garden space though and it’s going to be so hot and humid and mosquito-infested, I’m sure. But, tomato sandwiches with Duke’s mayo await in the pot at the end of the rainbow therefore, I must weed.
attempting to tune my drum set. Hopefully a band practice
Camelmike: I can’t write when I’ve been drinking, so the only mind-altering substance I’d be on is coffee. I’ve sent you an e-mail, as I’m definitely interested in seeing what the deal is. My exposure to this culture begins and ends at the film “Stay Hungry.”
