All This, and Some Authors, Too
I don't typically mention single concerts around the country (unless, you know, I'm helping to put on the show), but occasionally a lineup stands out.
Like next weekend's Target Children's Book Festival in Bloomington, Minnesota. On Saturday, Sept. 13th, at Hyland Lake Park Reserve, the Festival's hosting a great lineup of kids musicians to enjoy for free. And, yeah, I guess since it's a book festival, there might be a few authors hanging around. Books, music, it's all good.
Set times for musicians (there are authors scattered in between there) are...
10:00 The Jimmies
11:25 Justin Roberts & the Not Ready for Naptime Players
1:10 Nick Jr.'s The Wonder Pets!
12:35 Lisa Loeb
1:55 The Jimmies
3:05 They Might Be Giants
4:25 Justin Roberts & the Not Ready for Naptime Players

Aw man, how come the Midwesterners get to have all the fun? Sounds like a terrific program. Wish Target would do this all over the country.

Target actually does have book festivals around the country in Boston, LA, NY, GA and a few other places.

NtheKnow, thanks--I had no idea. Do you happen to know if they'll be having one in Seattle (2nd only to Minneapolis in per capita book readership in the US)?
