Unfortunately I am preoccupied by a study group today...and pretty much every other weekend until the end of the school year. But! Katie W and I have plans to have the single most fantastique summertime experience of them all before she is shipped off to college. Here are a few selections...
x. Host a dinner party. Katie W. likes to refer to this as our "Midsummer Night's Dream Gathering" All though we have barely begun planning for this, I hope it's spectacular. Lot's of lanterns and desserts and 30's music.

x. Set up a sign on the street saying "Free Advice" I've always wanted to try this! I don't know how many people would actually come up and be willing to talk, but I think the people that would probably have something fascinating to say.
x. Learn to ice skate What better time to learn than in the summer? At least I won't have the angry glares of seven year olds who are more skilled than I am.
x. Make an extremely long list of books I've always wanted to read and read every single one. I'll save the contents of this for another post.
x. Form a lo-fi band and host regular concerts in my basement/someone else's basement. I have even started writing songs about Charlie Brown and Miriam Webster. It'll be Katie W. and I playing guitar and this Casio I found yesterday, wearing ridiculous dresses and lots of glowsticks.
x. Finish a game of Monopoly. This is much more of an adventure than you would think.
x. Attend a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening. After maybe The Nightmare Before Christmas and Titanic (don't judge me.), I have seen RHPS more than any other movie. BUT I have never been to the actual show! I even have a Columbia costume and I still haven't been. Katie W. is a veteran, though, so I plan on getting her to drag me and a bunch of toast there at some point soon.
x. Get any multitude of jobs. You know, in case the lo-fi band doesn't starting making millions of dollars ;) My current goal is to be the projectionist at a movie theater nearby.
x. Learn how to cook really, really well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNfSJIyFMVw
x. Start and finish some sort of really exciting, major writing project Don't laugh, but I really wanted to start writing this long series of books as an autobiography of Santa Claus. I've had it planned out for so long, and as ridiculous as it sounds, I think it could be kind of cool.
x. Travel I've never been out of the country. Something needs to be done about this.
x. So what's on your adventuring list?
