Get The Jump On Your 7/29 – 8/4 Plans.
Being as this is International Clown Week (or so we've heard), we should remind you not to take things too seriously this week. Color your hair, wear your giant paints and too much makeup, and remember to laugh. A lot. Hey, maybe that explains that giant Guinness record-breaking pie-fighting attempt that's going on over at the AAC later in the week? Probably.
But no matter how literally you interpret the whole Clown Week thing with your dress and attitude, it should be pretty effortless to find things to do this week — especially towards the weekend when several nice concerts and album release shows will be taking place.
