Saturday: “Indoor Winter Market”
I’m not going to pretend this will be nearly as fun or exciting as a nice springtime farmers’ market would be. But it’s still important that we eat our produce. Over 40 local farmers, artists and food vendors will be present. Dumplings from Gorkha Palace, funky oatmeal from 3 Bear Oats … maybe waiting for summer fruits isn’t all bad.
Where: 704 South 2nd St., Minneapolis
When: 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
How much: Free
Sunday: Music at Bordertown
This is Bordertown’s last live-music event of the semester, so how are we just finding out about it? Save your busy work for Sunday and head over to the coffee shop for a little entertainment while you fill in study guides. The shop is also boasting new spring drinks — fingers crossed for lavender lattes!
Where: Bordertown Coffee, 315 16th Ave. S.E., Minneapolis
When: 3 – 6 p.m.
How much: Free

Tell me everyone, what the heck are you going to do with your one wild and precious life?! In a time of lingering seasonal depression and grayscale landscapes Mary Oliver’s poetry can be a bit of a saving grace. Bird songs, summer air and natural water features. Read me to sleep, Mary?

Laura Perlongo has been my best kept Instagram/Snapchat secret for about a year now (maybe not a secret, I show her feed to everyone). The New York/LA based artist is married to Nev Schulman of “Catfish” fame and posts a consistent stream of premium #content. Her toddler, Cleo, is the best. Just wait.
