What are your plans for the weekend? There is plenty going on to keep you interested!
First off, for bicycle enthusiasts is the exhibition at Spin Bicycle Shop in Lakewood. It is a photographic exhibit of bike related art, featuring prints by RUSSELL LEE and GREY CARDIGAN. It opens Friday, Dec. 4th with a reception that starts at 6pm. Spin is located at 14515 Madison Ave In Lakewood and will be serving Fathead beer for the opening…mmm…
Be sure to stop by Visible Voice Books in Tremont as well. Do a little holiday shopping, and while browsing the shelves participate in the tasting of Fort Ross Wines from Sonoma. The wine tasting is Friday, December 4th from 7:30 to 10pm. You can find Visible Voice Books at 1023 Kenilworth Ave
Get down and dirty with a great workshop on composting. My buddy Timothy Smith of the Cleveland Greenhouse Project will be leading his Composting Workshop this Saturday at the Trinity Community Garden (East 35th & Cedar, behind the McDonalds on Carnegie) It would be great to see you there!
Help the Cleveland Greenhouse Project build composting bins at the Trinity Community Garden downtown at East 36th Street and Cedar Avenue in order to experiment with arrangement, mixes and composition of nutrient-rich compost. Bring gloves, shovels, hammers, heavy-duty Staple guns, old newspapers and cardboard boxes, and be ready to have fun while getting a little dirty and learning a lot! We’ll be combining organic food waste, yard waste, cardboard, newspaper and wood chips in order to make a rich compost for next year’s growing season. Food waste and shipping pallets will be donated by the Sanson Company, located at the Northern Ohio Food Terminal.
If you don’t know about the Cleveland Greenhouse Project, you should! It is all about building a great greenhouse that can help provide economic benefit to Cleveland and provide real food to low income urban environments. It is an idea whose time has come!
Saturday night is the F**K Cancer event at the Beachland Ballroom. Three bands, $7, all the proceeds of which are going to support the Taussig Cancer Center. This event was organized by a friend of mine in honor of her late father and the great care he received during his illness. Gift her a birthday gift worth getting, and have a blast while you are at it! The event starts at 8:30, the Beachland is at 15711 Waterloo Rd.
You can go and see The Santaland Diaries directed by my friend Brian, to put you in that holiday mood:
CPT is proud to present the return of The Santaland Diaries, onstage in the James Levin Theatre from November 27 through December 19 (Preview, Friday, November 27; Opening Night, Saturday, November 28)! This CPT favorite is the story of a 33 year-old slacker who takes a job as Crumpet, a Macy’s Christmas elf. Written by NPR favorite and accomplished satirist David Sedaris, The Santaland Diaries is a hilarious retelling of one elf’s unique experience in the throes of the holiday season and is sure to bring a smile to even the grinchiest face! Directed by Brian D Bethune, featuring Doug Kusack as Crumpet the Elf.
