Don't Forget about Your Local Barnes and Noble!

March 26, 2009

I am not sure we fully appreciate all our local Barnes and Noble has to offer.  I know their events had slipped my mind until my son and daughter happened in there one rainy day during Spring Break to get out of the drizzle.  We found ourselves sitting in their little children's reading area and completely lost track of time.  I then saw events they had coming up and wondered why I wasn't in here more often.  The events I have listed below are for Barnes and Noble at Northwoods (281 and 1604), but the link I have will allow you to plug in any area of town to check when the exact times are at your Barnes and Noble.

Have you taken your child to see Old MacDonald's Farm at the Steven Stoli Playhouse ? If you haven't, tomorrow is the last day it is showing. Make sure to put the next play on your calendar- Little Red Riding Hood and the Cookie Wolf showing Oct. 4- Nov. 1. Tickets are cheaper than going to a movie and probably a better experience.

Culture Clash

I'm not talking about the merging of Culture Club with The Clash (although if Joe Strummer wasn't dead and Boy George was willing just think of the wacky possibilities that could've resulted: Rock the Chameleon, Should I Stay or Should I Tumble 4 Ya). No, I'm talking about the Texas Folklife Festival taking place this Friday through Sunday on the grounds of the Institute of Texan Cultures .  Read more...
