5 THINGS: French Music Videos and Meetings

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Wednesday, May 8, 2013:

“Logic sometimes has very little to do with political action.” – Alexander Mackenzie. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The Trustees of the South Kingstown School Funds meet at 8 a.m.
• The Narragansett Scenic Roadway Board meets at 12:30 p.m.

Mmm, delicious vegetables and produce! Goose Pond Farm of West Kingston is offering community supported agriculture accounts from this season to Dec. 31. For more info, click here.

With Kentucky now in the rear view mirror, register for a fishing derby! The South Kingstown Parks and Recreation Department is hosting its second annual fishing derby on Friday, May 10. They’re asking folks to pre-register for it though. For more info, click here.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Truman Day. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

Is it weird that people doing a fast are actually slower? On this day in 1933, Gandhi began his 21-day fast to protest British rule in India.

The French master of the music video. Happy 50^th birthday to Michel Gondry! For once of his best, check out “Come Into My World” by Kylie Minogue.
