Hey-O! It's time for the Killer Roundup. Spread the word!
To see daily A & E updates on midcoast Maine, follow The Killer Convo on Facebook and Twitter.
Already it's 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....what I wouldn't give at this moment to be stuck in a sweaty subway in a city listening to some nose breather next to me. Right?
At The Killer Convo, I try to find the most interesting, fun-fun-fun things for you to do and see each weekend (no garden tours, no baroque concerts--I said fun!!) 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.

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/
