Patriotic Hangover

The parade on Saturday was somewhat disgraceful to our country. Few, if any, of the floats had a patriotic theme and the only two giant cartoon balloons I can remember are Madeline and Paddington Bear. This is ridiculous...Madeline is an idealistic french girl who probably hates America because of our foreign policies and all around brashness and Paddington Bear is a Brit that's STILL bitter about the Revolutionary War. Mix some Americans into the fold Provo Parade!!! Charlie Brown, Sponge Bob, Bugs Bunny! Flip, I would have been happy to see Doug...anything but Paddington Bear and Madeline! Dang! Oh and to the 40+ year old man across the street that was screaming at every parade participant to "spin"...get a life.

I'm okay...I promise. Not a whole lot going on here in Utah County today. I found no real shows of interest when scouring the intrawebz. Scera Theatre is putting on a production of West Side Story. Details:

SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre
West Side Story
669 South State Street, Orem
8:00 PM--$10-$14 adults, $8-$12 children

This production is running every Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night until July 20. SCERA Theatre always puts on quality and this, I'm sure, is no exception.

About the Song Du Jour: "Sleepyhead" Passion Pit

The song comes in like some weird dream. Written by Lead Singer and Keyboardist Michael Angelakos, the song was part of a Valentine's gift to his girlfriend. It clocks in at just under three minutes but manages to pack in great dance beats, break downs and weird sampling. This is one of my favorite underground songs of last year and I fully expect Passion Pit to blow up really soon.

That's all for today folks. Tune in tomorrow as I preview the Twilight Music Festival in Salt Lake and give you more entertainment love...til' then Au Revoir!
