The 20/20 festival wrapped up last night, but there is still a lot going on this weekend. I would like to check out: The Green drinks meeting on Thursday, but I can't because my golf class was rescheduled from Wednesday. One more week of golf left.

On Friday I will definitely be at the McAlpin on 4th Street downtown for Music and Martinis with CincyUpdate. $15 gets you an open bar, music in the lobby and on the outdoor rooftop balcony and some munchies.

I'd like to be able to squeeze in a quick trip to Andy's Mediterranean Grille to see Myrrah belly-dance. She's not there more than once a month usually and she is the best!

On Saturday, I'm thinking about the Fire Ball to benefit the Cincinnati Fire Museum. From the looks of the host and hostess list, it should attract a diverse crowd.

On Sunday, I was thinking of the Japanese tea tasting at Essencha, but I might head to Findlay Market instead for the Harvest Fest. Of course, any weekend is a good time to head to Findlay Market but I always seem to forget about it when the weekend comes. http://www.findlaymarket.org/news.htm

Next Saturday, Oct. 27, is the World Music Fest at Southgate House. I think I will have to skip the Halloween Parties and go to that instead. Which saves me the trouble of scrounging up a costume! www.worldmusicfest.org
