Want theater? Want theater with a full bar? Don’t forget Raconteur Theatre’s 3rd Annual Flex Series opens tonight! Too busy with the other stuff? It’s running for three weeks. Want reserved tickets? Send me a PM and I’ll bug the box office.
Is there anyway to find out the route for the Zombie Walk? (Other than asking on Facebook, because I’m not on it.)
I think they like to be seen as much as possible, so I think they may be trekking up one side of High and the back down the other side.
Also:
-Big Ten Baseball Tournament @ OSU
-Rugby Sevens National Collegiate Tournament @ Crew Stadium featuring 18 local bands!! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=105261116186601&ref=ts
Pedal Instead will be set up Saturday and Sunday for Asian Festival.
How about Crawl for Cancer on Saturday, which I’m taking part in. Getting drunk to help cure a disease. Doesn’t quite make sense. Oh well. Whatever helps.
There is also the annual Selma Walker Memorial Pow Wow at the Franklin County Fairgrounds this weekend from the Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio. They also have one Labor Day Weekend. If you go, plan to bring something to sit on and sunscreen as there is no shade.
