Iowa City Weekend

No live candidate appearances but there's a fair amount of interesting stuff in Iowa City this weekend:

Teleconference with Chris Dodd on ending the war. He'll be in Des Moines but you can hook up (no, not that way) at the Iowa City library, noon to 1.

Loads of things going on in the Friday after work slot:

Bike To Work Week wraps up with a party at Fitzpatrick's starting at 5; prize drawing at 6:30.

Also at 5 (till 8) the Emma Goldman Clinic has its spring fundraiser at the Chait Galleries Downtown, 218 E. Washington St.

Don't forget the weekly peace vigil at the bus stop, 5:15 to 5:45.

And the centerpiece of Iowa City summer weekends, the Friday Night Concert Series, kicks off with the City High and West High Jazz Ensembles.

Saturday morning you can pull some garlic mustard or hike for refugees. There's also a Teens for Peace happening; you can sleep in a little and still catch that.

And at 12:30 there's an Iowa City Women for Edwards house party at Virginia Stratton-Coulter's north side residence; co-host Aletia Morgan from the school board.

Saturday night the free movies start with "Grease".

Sunday's early risers can join the Rainbow Run 5k pre-pride event.

Cyclone Conservative has reset his poll (not at my prompting; he tells me the 17th of the month is reset day). The predictable Ron Paul landslide is already ensuing; my monthly vote for Generic Democrat is in the box.
