Oktoberfest, Concerts, and New Movies

What's the biggest thing going on in Kirksville this weekend? It's gotta be Oktoberfest! Truman State will be hosting this awesome festival on the Mall. If you don't know, the Mall is the area between Pickler Memorial Library and the Student Union Building.

The Mall

Oktoberfest offers FREE hotdogs, pretzels and rootbeer accompanied by live music, games, and prizes.

This weekend What's Your Number? will be premiering at the Kirksville Downtown Cinema Eight on Friday.

I'm not usually the guy to suggest that someone go see a romantic comedy, but after reading a few reviews on imbd, I'm convinced that this movie may break the mold of past movies of the genre. People described it as "hilarious and surprisingly moving." If you like romantic comedies or Anna Faris, I hope you get to see this one, I'll probably be taking my girlfriend to see it tomorrow.

Also, on Sunday, the Blue October will be playing at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO. Tickets are $24 for those 21 and over and $26 for minors. Check out Blue October's Vevo on Youtube for a taste of some of their best music.

Here are the directions.

I went to see What's Your Number and absolutely LOVED it. Definitely a funny movie, and I'd really recommend it!

Bio

I'm a Sophomore at Truman State University studying Journalism and Marketing. I'm an active member of Beta Theta Pi, the Bike Co-Op, and last year I was a member of Missouri Hall Senate.

Last year I found that many of my fellow students could not keep themselves occupied over the weekends without movie marathons or excessive amounts of video games. I wanted more out of my weekends!

I've lived in small towns all my life, so I was used to having to actively seek entertainment rather than it being as readily accessible as it is in places like St. Louis and Kansas City. Eventually I also started to take advantage of the older members of the organizations I was in to get ideas and suggestions on how I may keep my friends and myself entertained. Being a member of the Missouri Hall Senate also helped as I got to participate in creating activities for over 400 students to do every other week.

After last year and this summer, I have plenty of ideas on how your weekends may be spent. The best part is that I keep finding more! I hope that most of the ideas I offer may be of as much help to you and your friends as it was to me!
