1. Maryland Rennaissance festival I know what you’re thinking…But yeah I had a ball last time I went. And a gigantic, flinstones like turkey leg. And I really did wish I had a costume. If you are a beer drinker you’ll be in heaven at this festival. I am not, but they had wines and also some interesting performances, vendors, and more fattening food than I care to think about. This is no small festival, we’re talking acres.. http://www.rennfest.com/ Festival Schedule for 2010

2. Sidamo Coffee & Tea An Ethiopian Blend of Java and Tradition (from WashPO) You’re sick of the standard Starbucks. Caribou Coffee just isn’t strong enough, and Dunkin’ Donuts . . . well, you’re looking for something a little hipper. How about a new coffee experience this weekend — one with a little shot of culture? Every Sunday at 2, Sidamo Coffee & Tea on H Street NE presents a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony. There wasn’t an empty seat in Sidamo on a recent Sunday. Sit by the door for the best view of the ceremony. Info: http://www.sidamocoffeeandtea.com/
