Ginger Ninjas pedal through M-town

This is relatively short notice, but the Ginger Ninjas are coming to Wesleyan TOMORROW! The concert is in conjunction with a ResLife BBQ (which means food is only for Hi Rise/Lo Rise and T-Square residents) but the music is free for all.

In 2007, the Ninjas became the first band in the history of rock and roll to tour by bicycle, unsupported by automobile. On a 5,000 mile odyssey from their home in Northern California to the pyramids of southern Mexico, they promoted transportation cycling while also exploring the frontiers of pedal-generated electricity, using their own bikes to power a hyper-efficient sound system. (Sounds pretty much amazing to me). They call their style "mind shaking love groove folk funk roots rock explosive international pedal powered mountain music for a pleasant revolution."

Tag sales up the wazoo

The First United Methodist Church will be holding its annual tag sale next weekend. Household goods, toys, books and more will be available. Get some hot dogs and beverages while you browse: yum! In addition, the United Methodist Women will host a bake table.

Date: Saturday, Sept. 6
Time: 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Location: 24 Old Church Street

Christ Lutheran Church is also holding its annual tag sale, but it'll be the weekend after next. They'll have donuts, bagels, hot dogs, coffee and soda, too! Early risers get the best selection. Last year we got a free television, complete with faux-wood paneling and the highest quality electronics you could buy... back when it was made, in 1983. Regardless, the deals are great!

Date: Saturday, Sept. 13
Time: 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Location: 300 Washington Street

I think I may have also seen a sign for a tag sale at the South Congregational Church at the end of Main Street. Keep an eye out!

And fix your peepers on St. Sebastian Church, on Washington Street, because they may also be hosting a tag sale in the coming weeks.
