Today is an exciting day for us Provoans. This afternoon the Mayor is set to make a major announcement about our city. Guesses are ranging from major infrastructure changes downtown to the acquisition of Google Fiber. I know this shows my inner Provo geek, but I couldn't sleep last night thinking about it. Also, I'm in a hotel in St. George and I slept with Erin last night who slumbers like a flipping fish caught by a hook. Refreshing!

We at the Rooftop Concert Series HQ want to add to the excitement of the day by dropping some news of our own:

I suppose my favorite part of this line-up is the seasoned performers mixed with the newest Provo discoveries. Joshua James with Polytype? Amazing. Special thanks to Sarah Wiley our CEO and Corey Fox of Velour for arranging all the talent and curating the shows.

Now, join us in praying for dry, pink sunsets and come to our first concert--a little over two weeks away!

One of my favorite events in downtown Provo is happening this weekend, Bijou Market. It's a grouping of Utah's best artisans and craftspeople selling creative little gifts and delights. It's a biannual event and I try to make it each time.

Mother's day gifts? You will find them here.

Also, get your portrait drawn by Caitlin Connolly aka Lady Hue.

See their website for more details.
