Highlights where you may or may not be able to find me for the coming week 5-4-09 through 5-10-09

Monday
A birthday celebration is the reason for a visit to Surly Girl Saloon. Not that a reason is needed to visit the bar with one of the best beer selections in Columbus. Seems not a visit goes by that a Brasserie de Rocs de Cru is not ordered. The food menu is a work in progress with the misses unfortunately outnumbering the hits though you can’t go wrong with the Surly Girl Pizza that is able to shine despite the uninspired crust that plagues the rest of their pies.

Tuesday
The Cleveland Cavaliers finally return to action after over a week waiting for the winner of the Atlanta Hawks/Miami Heat playoff series. Cleveland took the season series three games to one from Atlanta so it may be just a matter of how quickly the Cavs can knock off the rust before they take control of the series and dispatch the Hawks.

Thursday
The Wexner Center is in the midst of their presentation of the first North American retrospective of Nagisa Oshima’s work. Considered one of the greatest Japanese filmmakers, Oshima’s scandalous In the Realm of the Senses will be screened with Pleasures of the Flesh Thursday evening at 7.

Friday
It has been a very long time since the Star Trek franchise was not looked upon as a joke to anyone not considered a Trekkie. Friday marks yet another attempt at reinvention; this time marks a return of the original characters, albeit younger versions and a brand new cast. If this reinvention does not work, this may be the final voyage of the USS Enterprise.
