July 4th Weekend Pow! Zing! (Fireworks & Much More)

7/1/2010

0 Comments

 

Already the ides of July and as I'm swimming in an absolutely uncrowded Maine cool, clear lake on a sunny day looking up at the mountains, I'm thinking....this sucks. I wish I were stuck in a sweaty subway in a city listening to some nose breather next to me.

Oh, by the way, I was told this week that the title "Killer Convo" is off-putting to my audience. Because it implies that I've killed you with my words. Does anyone feel strongly about this? Did anyone alert Roberta Flack?

So this weekend it depends on whether the weather will cooperate, but not to worry. We've got indoor and outdoor fun things to do. Let's get started.

Thursday, July 15, 2010
7:00pm - 10:00pm
Lincoln Street Center
Paddy Mills will be playing tonight. He's done some great song work on the soundtrack of Maine Buggin's DVD. As a songwriter, Paddy has a knack for the overlooked. He knows that common sense is not so common, and simple truths are not so simple. With a hitch-hikers heart and a back pack full of notebook philosophy, Paddy leaves you grinning like you've just been let in on a secret -- one that you might just have known all along. Hear Paddy at http://paddymills.com/

Friday, July 16
2:00-4:00 pm
The Maine Windjammer Association will host the 7th Annual Maine Windjammer Parade past the Rockland Breakwater on July 16 from 2 - 4 pm.

Has anyone seen this guy live? He is hilarious. He'll have you not only laughing but going "oh my god, that is so true" during his act.

National comedian Bob Marley will have you rolling on the floor with his bust-a-gut routines about life in Maine, marriage and kids, and more! Don’t miss this highly entertaining show filled with real Down-East humor from Maine’s most-loved comedian. STRAND THEATRE 345 MAIN STREET ROCKLAND, ME (207) 594-0070 www.RocklandStrand.com.
7pm (all ages show) & 9pm (21+ show)- Tickets: $25/reserved seating

Spectators may view the Parade of Sail from anywhere along the mile-long Breakwater. Immediately following the Parade, many of the windjammers will anchor next to the jetty inside Rockland Harbor for the evening. Festivities include tours of the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse (contact Friends of the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse at 207-785-4609). For more information, call 800-807-WIND
