Driving by Plaza Fiesta yesterday, I saw a sign:

PAULINA RUBIO DOMINGO 22
SLICK RICK 28

Still don’t know what’s up with the Slick Rick appearance — he’ll be at Music Midtown, for those of y’all who’ve already made Memorial Day weekend plans — but tickets to see La Chica Dorada at the DeKalb Events Center, attached to Plaza Fiesta, are $41 each. I’ve already checked.

On the one hand, it says something rather nifty about the economic growth of the local Hispanic population that promoters think they call fill a 1,500-seat venue at $41 a pop for an artist whose English-language album tanked. On the other hand, I foolishly participated in a charity drive earlier this week, thus blowing my chance at hearing “Amarte en Libertad” live.

Meanwhile, Eurovision? Tomorrow. Place to watch? Not found yet. Me? Desperate.
