Damn, I wish I could be cloned for a day

For some reason, event planners don't always check to see the competition before planning an event, so this Saturday is jammed full of exciting things. I wish I could have three or four of me to go out and enjoy all of the cool things that are happening on April 18. If you are not already totally busy this Saturday (which I can't seem to understand why you wouldn't be unless you are a hermit), I have put together a list of things you could be doing this fine Saturday instead of that family picnic at the beach.

I saw this posted when taking my in-laws around town. A street performer's festival featuring sword swallowers, jugglers, acrobats, comedians, musicians and more are sharpening their anything but ordinary talents. Both Saturday & Sunday (Noon- 5pm). There is even a Buskers After Dark event running from 7-10pm. Maybe I will make it out on Sunday.
