5 THINGS: A Storm Too Soon, Mariah and Jessie J

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Wednesday, March 27, 2013:

“In the time of darkest defeat, victory may be nearest.” – William McKinley. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The Narragansett Economic Development Committee meets at 7:30 p.m.
• There are no meetings scheduled for South Kingstown.

It’s not too soon to read about it though! Author Michael J. Tougias will be introducing his book, A Storm Too Soon, at 7:30 p.m. at Kingston Free Library. 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 International World Theatre 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.

Side effect – horrible, horrible commercials. On this day in 1998, Viagra was approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

It’s a good day for pop vocalists. Happy 43^rd birthday to Mariah Carey, and happy 25^th birthday to Jessie J!
