  Dan Schulz: And I'm Dan Schultz, and this is Redmond's twice weekly newsletter and podcast about all of the amazing things happening in and around Redmond for the next seven days.
• 0:16
  Dan Schulz: Jennifer, what is this major music act hitting the area?
• 0:21
  Jennifer Davis: Well, the Black Keys are heading to Rumlinger Farms Incarnation this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, and that's still a pretty weirdly awesome venue for a band that big.
• 0:32
  Jennifer Davis: The whole thing is outdoors, so instead of dealing with arena parking garages and their prices and downtown Seattle traffic, you're basically listening to blues rock in the middle of farm country.
• 0:45
  Jennifer Davis: If you've never done one of Rumlinger Farm's shows before, the setup's surprisingly easy once you're there.
• 0:52
  Jennifer Davis: It's worth leaving early though, because everybody on the east side suddenly remembers Carnation exists the second concerts start happening out there.
• 1:01
  Dan Schulz: What is Carnation?
• 1:02
  Dan Schulz: Carnation.
• 1:04
  Dan Schulz: That's right.
• 1:10
  Dan Schulz: The Redmond Library is hosting a Yoga for Stress Relief class on Sunday, May 31st from 2:00 to 3:00 PM.
• 1:16
  Dan Schulz: And you know what?
• 1:16
  Dan Schulz: The timing feels pretty appropriate after the week that a lot of us have been having this week.
• 1:21
  Jennifer Davis: It's been a tough one
• 1:22
  Dan Schulz: Shilpa from Peace Yoga is leading an intro level session focused on relaxation and simple breathing techniques, so you definitely don't need to be somebody doing handstands on Instagram to show up.
• 1:36
  Dan Schulz: Uh, bring a yoga mat if you have one, and if you don't have one, do not get stressed about it.
• 1:42
  Dan Schulz: The whole point of this is yoga for stress relief
• 1:47
  Jennifer Davis: Sama Sellers is doing a stand-up comedy night Thursday, May 28th, with Taylor Clark headlining alongside Genevieve Ferrari.
• 1:56
  Jennifer Davis: Boy, there's a fun name.
• 1:58
  Jennifer Davis: Take that one racing around that winery This feels like one of those low-key Redmond nights people accidentally discover and then keep going back to.
• 2:08
  Jennifer Davis: Doors open at 6:30, and the show starts at 7:00.
• 2:11
  Jennifer Davis: It'll be inside the wine lounge, and Dani Marie will be hosting, so the whole thing should move pretty fast without awkward dead spots between comics
• 2:20
  Dan Schulz: Yeah, you bet it's gonna move fast thanks to you know who
• 2:24
  Jennifer Davis: Who's that?
• 2:24
  Jennifer Davis: Oh, the Ferrari.
• 2:27
  Dan Schulz: That's right.
• 2:32
  Dan Schulz: When you're planning your next event, forget about all of those bland corporate catering companies.
• 2:38
  Dan Schulz: La Tia Angelina brings something special to your gathering.
• 2:41
  Dan Schulz: Brian and Amelia have been serving authentic Mexican cuisine for five years using recipes from Brian's parents, Angelina and Miguel, straight from Jalisco, Mexico.
• 2:53
  Dan Schulz: And here's the cool thing: Angelina still makes the salsas and sauces by hand herself.
• 3:00
  Dan Schulz: They've got their King County permit and can travel anywhere from Snohomish down to Tacoma for private events.
• 3:07
  Dan Schulz: They've catered apartment complexes like Skyline and Triangle in Redmond, corporate events, and private parties.
• 3:13
  Dan Schulz: It's just Brian, Amelia, and their five kids doing everything themselves with Angelina's homemade sauces tying the whole menu together.
• 3:21
  Dan Schulz: You know, your event deserves better than generic catering.
• 3:26
  Dan Schulz: That message brought to you by La Tia Angelina
• 3:30
  Jennifer Davis: So Ramrod getting canceled this summer apparently didn't slow anybody down over at Redmond Cycling Club.
• 3:37
  Jennifer Davis: They just announced a brand-new gravel ride called Get Mad, which stands for Gravel Enumclaw to Mowich in a Day, and the route sounds pretty intense even by Pacific Northwest cycling standards.
• 3:52
  Jennifer Davis: Riders will head through private forest land, climb restricted access roads, and finish at Mowich Lake inside Mount Rainier National Park.
• 4:02
  Jennifer Davis: Registration opened this week through the Redmond Cycling Club website, and the ride itself is scheduled for July 23rd.
• 4:09
  Jennifer Davis: This one will probably fill up fast
• 4:13
  Dan Schulz: There's a spring fishing gear swap and community cookout happening Sunday, May 31st from 3:00 to 7:00 PM at Kakani Shelter inside Lake Sammamish State Park.
• 4:22
  Dan Schulz: And even if you barely fish, these community gear swap things are usually pretty fun.
• 4:28
  Dan Schulz: People bring old rods, tackle boxes, camping stuff, and random outdoor gear while mostly hanging around swapping stories with each other.
• 4:36
  Dan Schulz: They've also got food during the event, so it turns into more of a neighborhood cookout than some hardcore fishing expo.
• 4:43
  Dan Schulz: If your kids have been curious about fishing lately, this is a pretty cheap way to ease in- to it.
• 4:50
  Jennifer Davis: Okay, Dan, it's time for the Redmond History Minute, where we share an interesting piece of history, trivia, or tidbit about life in and around Redmond.

• 8:06
  Dan Schulz: We don't know if it's still in the early planning stages or what.
