That’s my favorite quote from this weekend. Possibly this year.
Anyway, the weekend. Friday night I met some friends out at Chipotle. One of them had won free dinner for 10. Afterwards I hung out at home; I considered going out for wine but the discovery that I had left my debit card at home made that impossible.
Saturday I went to the Folk Festival . I was there before it opened to man a table for a friend. She’s started up a new business selling compostable and biodegradable food containers and utensils. (Since the name of her business is Green Duck she shall be known as Ducky.) Anyway, we had to be there to show the volunteers what could go into the compost receptacles. (The vendors had not been required to buy from Ducky, just encouraged. As such, there was a mixture.)
Once the festival started up I met up with another friend and we hung out for most of the day, catching a few acts. My favorite was Liadan, but then it is a well-known fact that I like the Irish music. We also saw a guitar workshop where different styles were played. It was fascinating.
After being out there for most of the day, I headed home and collapsed on my couch. I even turned down an invitation to go out for oysters.
Sunday evening I went and saw Religulous and then we went out to dinner. Dinner is where the quote came from. The movie was good; it was funny and the interviewees often made the arguments for Bill Maher. On the other hand, he was constantly interrupting the interviewees and at the end of the movie he got quite preachy, which was ironic. But at the end of the day, how can you not like a movie that has a United States Senator admit (after saying some truly stupid things), “You don’t have to pass an IQ test to get into the Senate.” (Dear Arkansas: You might want to rethink that.)
