What to do on the first saturday in May
May 3, 2008 is less than a month away.
It's a day that falls between my wedding anniversary and our started-dating anniversary (not that we've celebrated that since we got married). The date combination is the same as the Cincinnati-based banking institution 5/3 Bank. The date's translation into 1337 is May e, zoob (which sounds Latin).
- Visit your local comic book store for free comics and swag in honor of Free Comic Book Day
- Visit your local scrapbook store in honor of National Scrapbooking Day
- Go to Louisville, KY for the Kentucky Derby (or watch it on TV) (if you go to Louisville, be sure to see the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory with the huge bat on the outside)
- Go see the racehorse documentary "The First Saturday in May" (which ironically opens in theaters on April 18th)
- Go to a local SCA event
- Go to a baseball game
- Spend the day playing the newly released Mario Kart (Wii)
- Spend the day playing the newly released Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, XBOX 360)
- Begrudgingly ignore everything and work, do homework or work on your house all day
- Ignore everything and sleep all day
For me, numbers 1, 6, 7 and 10 sound like attractive ideas. What about you? Am I missing any events or plausible choices here? I don't know why, but it seems like now is a good time to start planning what you're going to be doing on May 3rd.
I originally wrote this post on Friday morning, but lost it in another retarded instance of Movable Type software being an asshole. So I had to rewrite it and get the links again and post it late. But I left the original "publish" date because dammit, that's when I wanted to post it!
