Whatchawannadothisweekend? (29Jun06)

Tonight: At 7:30pm, Palm Desert's Civic Center Park Amphitheater at 73510 Fred Waring will host the Rockit Scientists, playing rock 'n roll music from the Fifties and Sixties. According to their website: The Rockit Scientists start on time, dress appropriately, perform a proven selection of music, entertain the audience, use responsible volume, are polite and courteous to guests, do not carry any bad habits and support the event coordinator... Aren't all rock bands like that?

Friday: "The Sound of Music" opens at the Palm Canyon Theatre, 8pm. "Doe, a deer, a female deer..."

Saturday morning: The CoD Street Fair runs from 7am-noon in Palm Desert. Get there before I snap up all the good stuff...

Saturday afternoon: From noon to 5pm, the Community Blood Bank will be conducting a blood drive at Westfield Shoppingtown in Palm Desert. Details: 773-4190. Hm. What are those two tiny puncture marks on my throat?

Saturday evening: At 8pm, Vicki Carr sings at the Spotlight 29 Casino. According to her website, Dean Martin called her "the best girl singer in the business," Gerald Ford referred to her as his "favorite Mexican Dish," and she's made two guest appearances on the TV series "Baywatch."

Sunday: At 9pm, it's the "Big Hair and High Heels Drag Review Extraordinaire," featuring The Delicious Divas, at Sidewinders. "The percentage you're paying is too high a price, while you're living beyond all your means. And the man in the suit has just bought a new car, from the profit he's made on your dreams. But today you just read that the man was shot dead, by a gun that didn't make any noise. It wasn't a bullet that laid him to rest, 'twas the low spark of high heeled boys"... —Steve Winwood/Jim Capaldi
