I did some research today to see what my next art museum destination will be in the next week or two, and I discovered that most of the affiliated institutions included in my year's membership are quite far away! The nearest is 30 minutes away, the next about an hour, and the rest are all at least 2½ hours away. I may do an overnight to hit the one in Maine (4 hours away), and the two on Cape Cod (Dennis & Provincetown). And I went to Bennington, VT for a day trip last year and loved the area, so an excuse to repeat will be just fine (Alpacas and Beer and Chocolate, oh my!).
I also bought two tickets to see Pete Yorn in early October! I just randomly checked his site to see if he had any upcoming shows, and sure enough - October 4th at the Pearl Street Ballroom in Northampton. The same thing happened a few days ago when I stumbled upon old college favorites Chapterhouse, who I'd assumed folded. I got two tickets to see them at The Middle East the day after the Pete Yorn show (though I bought those tickets first). Maybe I'll try to find 3 other shows (Almanac Mountain is playing on the 3rd, and Dan Blakeslee on the 6th), and make a week of it - Not Lame Minus look out!
Throw in a few upcoming local mountain climbing expeditions (both solo and with family & friends, if they are so inclined), and this fall is going to be fun...

Portsmouth has a new museum here too! Right now I believe it's "Illustrating Portsmouth" by Bill Paarberg. Interesting stuff! Climbing expeditions, eh? Money's tight with the new apartment, but keep me posted!
ReplyDeleteCool, if that museum was on my list, I'd go in a heartbeat. Maybe I will anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll definitely keep you posted on mountain climbing (once the weather cools down again). Wachusett, Watatic, and Monadnock are all on my list. I want to hit as many of them on the Mid-State Trail as I can before winter. Nothing like an outing that is a) free, and b) good exercise!
