The Cream Cheese Accident will be playing at Zelick’s Icehouse tonight from 7 to 10 p.m. This band is a cover band of the String Cheese Incident with a slightly psychedelic sound featuring, you guessed it, string instruments as well as a funky guitar sound and an uptempo drum beat. For those in need of school supplies and shoes, Hays Cares is hosting a shoe drive from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday at McCormick Middle School, 5700 Dacy Lane, Buda, in which they will be doling out 500 new pairs of shoes along with school supplies to area children in need. Classic Rides on El Camino Real will be at the Hays County Historic Courthouse grounds on the square from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday. There will be Veterans Support Services on sight as well. It’s a great event to go browse the classic cars with your kids, and if you’re a veteran, to get your hands on some great resources. Then you can head over to the Taproom for a burger and some respite from the rain.

We’re used to having lots of sun in our long summer days, but this weekend’s forecast calls for rain. Lots of rain. Buckets of it. So what can we do that doesn’t involve al fresco dining, patio brunches or time spent in a tube or kayak? I’m going to indulge in some nice, indoor art. Dogseye Gallery is currently displaying “The Peep Show,” which runs now until Aug. 24. The show features multimedia work from over 20 artists, each designed to entice visitors from piece to piece to view the full gallery. On Sunday morning, we are meeting with some of our friends for brunch at The Wimberley Inn. Like us, our friends have been traveling a great deal this summer, so we will take the opportunity to relax and catch up while sampling The Wimberley Inn’s brunch menu. I’m eager to try the Limoncello Mule (Caravella Limoncello, Tito’s Vodka, ginger beer and mint) and the peaches and cream croissant French toast. All of this amounts to a nice, cozy weekend indoors.

This summer, my wife and I took a vacation with our three semi-grown daughters to one of the most expensive places in America. No, we didn’t visit our local insurance office. We toured several beautiful and fascinating cities in New England.
