• Festa Italiana — Can you imagine the food at this event? Makes us want to ride our Vespa's to St. Thomas, but we also want to drink as much limoncello as possible so maybe that's a bad idea. Festival open till 11 p.m. tonight and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $6, at the University of St. Thomas in the Montrose.

Wanna see a local blues legend for free? For the past few months on Tuesday nights at Boondocks, on the curve, Little Joe Washington has been performing his brand of local blues for free (although we're sure he'll gladly accept your tips.)

We're noticing a trend in great local bands: the older we get, the younger they get. The Wild Moccasins just happen to be one of those bands.
