I think it's winter. It certainly is cold outside. It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away! As I write this, I am watching yesterday's Good Morning Columbus, which I DVRd because they are having a segment on buying local gifts and it features Amy from Little Alouette and Daniel from Skreened, and they are talking about school delays!! Already! At this rate, I think your kiddos will be in school throughout June, since a lot of them missed a week when the power was out.
Events are a little light this week, probably owing to the fact that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. As always, if I am missing something or you would like me to include your event, please feel free to email me or leave a comment!
- Tomorrow is Third Thursday in the Short North - a great time to get some holiday shopping done with local businesses! Retail shops will be open late.
- Beginning this Friday, head to Dublin to see the Emerald City Players perform the Full Monty! Wonder if they'll wear fake Monties?
- Last week I got it wrong, but tomorrow Wild Goose Creative presents Nathan Smart and Matt Eyer, comedians in their new space on Summit Street!
- Also beginning this Friday is Wildlights at the Zoo! Tour the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium with lots and lots of lights! Also get lots of hot chocolate and roasted chestnuts.
- Beginning this evening at the Southern Theatre is CAPA's presentation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, as interpreted by Tim Supple. I've been hearing a lot about this performance and it sounds amazing. Originating from India, it features acrobatics and visually stunning costumes; it includes 7 of the many, many languages of India, but the timeless story should transcend language, I would think. I hope I get to go!
- Upcoming at House Wine in Worthington, you can taste the Matetic Winery wines of Chile on Monday the 24th, and on Wednesday the 26th, House Wine hosts a Winter beer tasting! the 26th is also the Holiday Preview for the businesses around House Wine, aka the "Old Worthington Quarter," so other businesses will be staying open late, including The Candle Lab, Caffe Daniela, and the Jan Allmon Studio Gallery (pick up a coupon for the gallery at House Wine!).
