Ok, sorry to mislead- there's no winter festival that I know of... but wouldn't that be COOOOL?! January is so dead and depressing, after the holidays are done and everything is grey and gloomy out.

I don't personally have the energy to start a community festival, but I was thinking that would be SO awesome- kinda like a winter top of the park. Some of it indoors, of course. With bands, stands with hot beverages, food, crafts for kids, other awesome stuff to perk up the dullness of winter. Part of what's so depressing in the winter is that everyone is isolated from each other, there's no sounds of life, everything is grey, etc. Wouldn't a community festival, the sounds of well-loved community bands, and the colors of everyone's winter gear in the same place, liven everything up so much???

I'm just putting this out there for some enterprising person to take on :). Perhaps start small this year, and then grow it next year?

Hi,

My name is Lisa and I am running an LJ for the non-profit organization based out of Michigan which educates people especially young adults about suicide prevention. I am asking you to join us and start a conversation to help ohers. It only takes a moment to pass a link on or post an entry that might save a life.

Thanks,
Lisa

Does anyone know any bars that do Karaoke on Fridays?

I think the place next to Bubble Tea in Ann Arbor does it, occaisionally, but I'm not sure what days. Also, it's still an insane college bar DURING Karaoke..

so ya, anyone know of any others or what night that place does theirs?
