Nothing doing tonight? Go check out the Sounds of Summer Concert Series at University Village. We've gone several times in the past few years and had a funktacular time. One note: bring a hat, sunglasses and possibly earplugs. The shows can get hot, bright and very noisy. In a fun way, of course.

Here's news for the Croc-hound in your house. Several weeks ago, the U-Village store Kid's Club became a collection point for SolesUnited. SolesUnited collects worn Crocs, recycles them into new footwear, then distributes the shoes to needy people worldwide.

What We Crave
"You crave what? Red bean paste?" You might think we're crazy,
but we don't mind. We're happy to let you eat all of the fluffy coconut
buns or pineapple rolls. We'll chow down on Mee Sum Pastry's sesame seed balls.

Daily Find
Spring has (finally) arrived, and with it that familiar feeling that
there's nothing to wear. The only problem? It's hard to afford gas
these days, let alone a whole new wardrobe.
