I have some news - posting will be light for me this weekend since I am traveling to Spain all next week. Heather will have an update on her weekend next Tuesday (don't you worry). In the meantime, enjoy our town where you can!

Your MOM's Day
As promised (*cough* as opposed to Tuesday *cough*) here's your weekend outlook from Market Squared. First off, the weather report.
If you've already forgotten, it's mother's day this weekend. If you want to be a good child and do something more than just show up (like me), here's some options.
If your mom's a geek, you could go see the new Star Trek movie. It's got action and young attractive men in it:
Besides, if she's a fan of Heroes she'll get to see Zachary Quinto in a role other than that of a super-powered serial killer. (H: Also, I saw it last night, and even as a non-Trekkie, I thought it was awesome. Hellooooooo James T. Kirk.)
Sunday will be cool, but nice, so a trip around downtown is never a bad idea. In particular, you could take her shopping around the many clothing and jewelry stores on Market and Congress streets, and have a stop at Annabelle's Ice Cream and take a walk around the docks to Prescott Park. As for me, my parents live in Raymond, so for ice cream we'll probably be taking a trip to Memories in Kingston (hey, it's her favorite).
Moms do generally love chocolate, so if you've never got anything from Byrne and Carlson on State Street, I suggest getting your chocolate there. It's more than 3 Tugboats good, and you can even get the chocolate with flowers embedded in them:
As for the rest of the weekend, we'll probably be hitting the bars tonight, and I'll be celebrating the second of many 30th birthdays to come this year among my friends. It is one more step on the frightening countdown to Heather's and mine (on 9/30 and 11/10, respectively). We're not old, yet. (H: Shut up, we're not.)

Finally, the weekend we've been waiting for.

They even have it in IMAX

Yes, you are supposed to eat it.

May Day!
We've been a little sporadic here at Market Squared-- probably because I'm a giant slacker and Jayson kept waiting for ME to actually write something (J: Actually I was using it as an excuse to also be a slacker). Because I'm so very deadline driven, we've come up with a schedule for this site. We plan to post every Tuesday and Friday, with little treats tossed in whenever we're so inclined.
I can FEEL your excitement, people.
So here we are, on the cusp of the weekend, and-- sadly-- it doesn't look like it contains any of the weather- related glory of last weekend.
Still, tonight you can take part of the monthly Art 'Round Town from 5-8, where you can stroll into local galleries, admire the art on the walls, and stuff your face full of free cheese and wine. It's pretty much my favorite thing to do in Portsmouth. If I wasn't going to see Bret Michaels tonight at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, I'd be there in a heart beat. Alas, I can not resist the siren call of the Bandana-Man.
There's also an art show/ fundraiser over at Choozy Shoes/ Le Club Boutique. Click here for the brochure (you might need to squint a smidge).
Jayson will be playing tour guide this weekend, so he'll most likely be around town. As for me, after I absorb all the Poison one girl can handle, I'm headed to Foxborough to see the Dalai Lama at Gillette Stadium. I'll take plenty of pictures with my BRAND-SPANKING NEW camera (just purchased two hours ago) and post them under one of our new features, "Day Trips."
After all, we can not survive on one town alone.*
*Actually, we probably could, but who doesn't want to see Bret Michaels AND the 14th Incarnate of the Dalai Lama?
See you on Tuesday! (J: Unless we all die of the VERY REAL AND IMMINENT DANGER OF SWINE FLU!)

They just have so much in common.
