5 THINGS: Jack Black, Pepsi and Music

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Tuesday, August 28, 2012:

Why isn’t this an Olympic sport? The South Kingstown Senior Center’s bocce club (and plays!) at 10 a.m.

Mmm, fresh produce! The Marina Park is at 2 p.m. today.

Speaking of growing stuff… URI offers of its botanical gardens for $5, at 5 p.m.

Not speaking of catching stuff… This week’s free movie night at Maury Loontjens Memorial Library features Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. are at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. The movie has a 6.8 rating from IMDB, and it stars Ewan “Obi-Wan” McGregor and Emily “Devil Wears Prada” Blunt.

Blood and God, a great combination. There is at the Calvary Bible Church on Avice Street in Narragansett at 5 p.m.

Cruising but not for bruisings. It is at the South County Commons, starting at 5 p.m. This refers to classic cars, and not those trips Kathie Lee used to hawk. Check out classic cars, live music and food.

The business of government business. The South Kingstown Planning Board has at 7 p.m.

Not to be confused with “Radar Love” and Golden Earring. For $15, you can see at The Towers at 7:30 p.m.

A gallery benefit show! There is a gallery show of Stephanie Parker’s work to benefit the Courthouse Center for the Arts. The exhibit is on display until Sept. 9, and open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Starting in early September, we’re going to be phasing out the adding of new calendar events by our staff. This means that if you’re from a group or organization, you’ll have to start doing them yourself. It’s pretty simple, though! While logged into your Patch account, just go here. Adding your event ensures it’ll show up in searches, and be eligible for me to give it shout-outs in Five Things.

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!

“I’ve done commercials for Pepsi and Coke. And if you ask me, can’t even taste the difference. All I know is: Pepsi paid me the most recently, so they taste better.” – Dave Chappelle. On this day in 1898, Caleb Bradham invented a drink that would be later called Pepsi-Cola.

WHOA he’s a wild guy MAN! Happy 42^nd birthday to Jack Black! His best movie is still School of Rock to me, even if I do look somewhat like his substitute teacher best friend Ned Schneebly.
