I have mixed emotions about Miniature Tigers rapid success. Yay! they’re touring with great bands and I can hear them on Sirius radio. Boo! No more frequent local shows. Oh well, the front-man is playing a solo acoustic show — right before the release of their second album, Fortress.

SATURDAY
Flowers in the Attic @ Mapcap Theaters
I remember reading Flowers in the Attic in middle school. I was engrossed in the tales of 4 startlingly attractive children imprisoned in their evil grandmother’s attic. There was intrigue, incest — which, by itself was enough to keep my 12 year old mind interested. It was made into a horrible movie with plenty of camp value.

CRACKING GOOD THINGS OF THE WEEK
Mr. Wind
I saw this sweet video on the Cup of Jo blog. It makes me happy.
Power burger
Grass is good.
No, not THAT grass (I was born in the ’70s).
Local Power Ranch Hamburger at Essence Bakery Cafe serves grass-fed beef, and weirdly enough, you can taste the difference.
