This Weekend in Mill Valley: April 8-10

Looking for something nearby to do this weekend? Check out some of the cool things on the Mill Valley Patch events calendar and let us know what we've missed.

Friday:

Don't miss this hysterically funny New York hit, praised by critics as a “deftly zany absurdist comedy” (New York Magazine) that is “dark, sweet and thoroughly engaging... surprisingly touching” (The New York Times). Claire wakes every day with no memory and is led through a ‘memory book’ and back into her life by nervous husband Richard and problem son Kenny. But the strange limping, lisping man hiding under her bed has a different story for Claire about her amnesia. Hold on tight as the plot twists and turns in the rapidly unfolding funhouse mirror world of Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole, Good People). Directed by Ryan Rilette. At Marin Theatre Company (397 Miller Ave.) 8 p.m. Tickets,$32-53; $20 under 30; $15 rush.


Saturday:

Start your Saturday with vibrant renditions of vintage and contemporary children's classics. Fun for the whole family! Meet in the Children’s Room at the (375 Throckmorton Ave,)11-11:30 a.m. Free.


Sunday:

It's spring, and that means it's time to get rid of all that brush that grew in the winter and get ready for fire season. Chipper Day for Homestead residents takes place Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Homestead Valley Community Center at 315 Montford Avenue. No cuttings will be accepted at any other time. No bags can be accepted. Dry and green brush cuttings and tree limbs up to five inches in diameter can be chipped on Chipper Day free of charge. Berries, grass, poison oak and ivy vines need to go in your green cans or be picked up by the by appointment.

So wish I could be there for the Memorial Day Parade and picnic. I used to join in the fun forRead More years!

Mini-roundabouts in the UK are often simply painted large dots in the road. While most USRead More installations are raised up 3 or 4 inches (also used in the UK) due to concerns about scoflaw drivers. The main point is to achieve the safety of a modern roundabout in a confined space, but still permit the occasional large vehicle to make all turns.

I came across that little traffic circle on a Saturday, a few weeks ago. Two of us approaching fromRead More different directions yielded to the car already in the circle, just as we were supposed to do, and it worked great! Of course, more hardcore engineering may be needed to corral users who don't understand the design, or scofflaws who imagine that painted "yield" symbols and lane markings don't apply to them. I believe I heard that step is in the works. Traffic circles and traffic-calming roundabouts are becoming common all over the country, because they improve traffic flow and reduce speeding and crashes.

I guess I can't hit the enter button because that submits the post so from now on (until they fixRead More the problem), all of my posts will be one paragraph. What Angelina did was her choice, based on the multi-billion dollar per cancer industry, and by the people that like do unnecessary surgeries to line their pockets. Ask one of those male doctors if he is willing to have his testicles removed "just in case" he might get testicular cancer in the future. I'll bet that they would laugh at anyone who proposed that question. There are many ways that people can take care of their bodies to prevent cancer, like taking vitamin D, magnesium, selenium, turmeric and many more anti-inflammatory herbs. Also diet and environmental factors play a role in the pre-disposition to get cancer. In most cases, genes only play about a 5% role in a chance of inheriting or contracting cancer. But this big business of cancer research doesn't want hear about anything else besides expensive pharmaceutical drugs and surgery, anything else would threaten their business model. This post is a test of the new Patch commenting system.

Yes, and she also announced that she is considering having her ovaries removed also.

Thanks Jim W. for your reply and explaining things to us. I look forward to a new Patch where peopleRead More are more considerate of other's opinions. I hope the new filters get rid of the hacker/trolls. And by the way, if you don't port over the comments about the transgender shower sharing article that I glanced at last night, you will be doing all of us a favor !

Thanks Rico. You make great points. We had a bit of a tech glitch in that some content from earlierRead More this week did not migrate over yet to the new sites - but it'll all be there soon. And yes, we'll have more info on how to navigate the site. I'll direct you here with any specific questions for now: https://patchsupport.zendesk.com/home But if that doesn't cover it or if you'd prefer to ask me, feel free - happy to help. And that goes for anyone out there with a question about how to get around on the new site.
