There's a lot going on this weekend, but first something I want to know: Does anyone have a good way to get to the game on Saturday? I didn't go to the Navy game, but I understand that traffic and COTA were pretty bad. Any comments? Any ways to make it easier on your fellow travelers?
This weekend you may want to check out the festivals, or the free Family Day at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Or get a jump on the season, and check out some of the Halloween train rides and other hauntings. (I think it's a little early, but what do I know?) Or, head for the Best of Fall Home Show and enjoy:
- A Saturday plant swap;
- Home remodeling talks and demos
- Friday night Wine tasting;
- Lectures on lawn and garden care
- Saturday beer tasting;
- Making a terrarium;
- Kids' crafts.
Check the September calendar for more weekend fun.
Finally, if you're the type that likes to plan more than a weekend ahead, tickets for the Zac Brown Band's October 23 show go on sale tomorrow (September 11) at 10 at Value City Arena/Schottenstein Center. It's hard to define these guys, but you know that if they've opened for ZZ Top, Etta James, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, Willie Nelson and BB King, their music is as tight as it gets. You can buy tickets via ticketmaster, but going through the Center's box office, (614) 292-3231, is cheaper.
Comments
I highly recommend going to see the Zac Brown Band. What is played on the radio or found on their c/d doesn’t even come close to how awesome they are live. I’ve seen them twice this past summer and the band consists of 6 awesome musicians. If you like country music with a jam band edge, you will love their live performance.
This band has a really big grass-roots fan base, and I think it’s because of their shows.
Actually, take the COTA bus. The trick? Use the Park and Ride at the Expo Center (fairgrounds). It’s right of I-71 at the 17th Ave. exit so you actually miss all the congestion around campus. Then, it’s a straight shot down 17th and the drop-off is one block from the stadium. Plus, buses run about every five minutes there. Some friends of mine have been raving about it. But, the trick is using that specific Park and Ride!
Thanks — I’ll try that Park and Ride. I usually catch the bus on High, and by the time it gets to me, it’s so full it drives on by.
