5 THINGS: Wind, Winwood and Wickford

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Sunday, May 12, 2013:

They’re not shooting the breeze – ha ha ha, get it, because they’re the wind ensemble? The University of Rhode Island Alumni Wind Ensemble plays at 3 p.m. at the Fine Arts Center in Kingston. The concert is free.

Get rid of all that stress and tension <3 There will be a free meditation session in Wickford at 7 p.m. And while it is free, there is a suggested donation of $5.

Warning: Rain in the forecast! At least as of Sunday morning, showers and thunderstorms are possible for today. Please plan appropriately when you venture out!

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 us, and depending on the time of the day, it can take 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!

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.

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that there are no significant holidays today. 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).

Hey, that’s a pretty swell name you got there… On this day in 254, Pope Stephen I succeeded Pope Lucius I as the 23rd pope.

“Of course I know who Steve Winwood is!” Happy 65th birthday to the man behind “Higher Love.”
