Oh lucky West Enders! We have three great opportunities to see the incredible talents that reside in the West End Neighborhood…. and all shows are within walking distance… or at least close by.

June 11th, Friday at 8:30 p.m.- Live music at Aroma Roasters: Mike Ehlers Band with special guest Ken Risling.  Mike Ehlers moves from eco-folk-rap to pop, from alt-country to mellow grooves, from story-folk-with-a-punch to ballads born in the depths of a quieted gratitude. Hear Mike Ehlers “Use Less”. West End’s Ken Risling has played many instruments in many genres. He began writing in earnest at the tender age of 45. His songs have won numerous awards and airplay. Hear ” Ken Risling “Gentle Rain”

See Ken Risling perform!

June 13th, Sunday at 11:45 a.m.- Baby Seal Club at HARMONY FESTIVAL on the GODDESS STAGE! Bring your own smudge sticks, tinfoil pyramid hats and favorite chakra-clearing crystal wands as we pay tribute to Choklit, our goddess of all things divine and delinquent.

(Sorry  if you received this twice- the first attempt was not successful.)

If you missed the Railroad Square Mardi Gras parade, don’t fret… there’s still more to do this week!

The Mardi Gras Parade was full of enthusiasm, laughter and music. It was a bit like First Night- when strangers met in the street to celebrate in the downtown. The Last Day Saloon’s featured act for the evening, Rythmntown Jive led the jubilant crowd through the welcoming restaurants (except one uncelebratory coffee shop who had posted guards!). To see the parade in progress- click here!

Neighborhood Watch Crime Alert:

Neighborhood Watch Leader for the Upper West End area reports: There were two cars with smashed windows along Ripley Street this week. These may or may not have been reported to SRPD. The first was Ripley @ 11th the night of 11/30.The second was last night 12/2 along Ripley @ 10th (I think along the northeast side of the street). If I learn more from neighbors I will pass it along.
