Zimfest!
It's Zimfest time again! Tomorrow is the start of the annual three-day celebration of the music and dance of Zimbabwe. It all takes place at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. So get thee hence! Yes, it's troubled political/social times back in the African nation itself, but all the more reason to celebrate the positive culture from the nation in anticipation of getting things straightened out there. Below is the performance schedule (afternoon shows are free, evening shows are ticketed); Zimfest also has lots of workshops, plus a marketplace and more. For complete details, see www.zimfest.org.
