‘Hysteria,’ At Palm Coast’s City Repertory Theatre, 160 Cypress Point Parkway (City Marketplace, Suite B207), Palm Coast. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for students. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. except on Sundays, at 3 p.m. In this surprisingly touching and hilarious farce, step into the wild world of “Hysteria,” Terry Johnson’s clever and funny play that blends fact and fantasy through the uproarious collision of Salvador Dalí and Sigmund Freud’s brilliant minds. Prepare for unexpected twists, outrageous situations, and a rollercoaster of emotions in this riotous farce set in 1938 London.

‘First Date,’ at St. Augustine’s Limelight Theatre, 11 Old Mission Avenue, St. Augustine. 7:30 p.m., except on Sundays, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $32.50, including fees. Book tickets here.  The 2012 musical takes the audience through the first meeting of Casey and Aaron, two 30-ish New York City singles set up by friends and family. The two have nothing in common: Aaron is a conservative banker, Jewish, and looking for a meaningful relationship, while Casey is an artist and a little too funky for Wall Street. With the influences of their friends and family (played out in their imaginations) as well as the effects of social media (Google, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube personified), this first date seems to be doomed. But with the help of a meddling but well-meaning waiter, Casey and Aaron might make a connection after all. With a contemporary rock score, FIRST DATE gleefully pokes fun at the mishaps and mistakes of blind dates and gives hope that there could be that one perfect moment.

Crab & Seafood Festival, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Blvd. between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and Charles Street, Daytona Beach. Attendees can enjoy a variety of delicious dishes at this festival hosted by Zone 6 City Commissioner Paula R. Reed. The family-friendly festival will feature live music, local accessory vendors and a Kids Zone.

Annual Roscolusa festival, featuring Nashville singers and songwriters, 245 Nocatee Center Way in Ponte Vedra.

The festival also includes a variety of food trucks along with beer and wine vendors. General Admission is $25.00 per person. A Cooler Pass (40 quarts or smaller) is available for $30.00 per cooler. (Soft drinks, food, beer, and wine are allowed. Hard liquor is not.) VIP tickets are $100.00 per person and include two drink tickets, complimentary food, and one free cooler pass. The VIP ticket also includes premier parking, access to a private stage viewing area as well as an air-conditioned facilities trailer.

Cabbage, Potato and Bacon Festival, Saturday 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Hastings Main Street, 301 N. Main Street, Hastings. See the full schedule here. Experience a weekend like no other at the upcoming Cabbage, Potato, and Bacon Festival! This lively event offers a delightful mix of entertainment, highlighted by The Great Hastings Mow Down Lawn Mower Races that promise to ignite your excitement. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just love a good challenge, lace up your shoes for The Spud Run 5K & 10K, where fitness meets festival spirit. Join in on community tours, captivating cooking demonstrations, and more. Indulge in local flavors at the outdoor market, and mark your calendars for the not-to-be-missed Chef “Taste of Hastings” event on Saturday evening, featuring live music and a silent auction.

Grace Community Food Pantry, 245 Education Way, Bunnell, drive-thru open today from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The food pantry is organized by Pastor Charles Silano and Grace Community Food Pantry, a Disaster Relief Agency in Flagler County. Feeding Northeast Florida helps local children and families, seniors and active and retired military members who struggle to put food on the table. Working with local grocery stores, manufacturers, and farms we rescue high-quality food that would normally be wasted and transform it into meals for those in need. The Flagler County School District provides space for much of the food pantry storage and operations. Call 386-586-2653 to help, volunteer or donate.






imperial division middle east
Notably: Yesterday in this space I only alluded to the day 124 years ago when the United States, Britain and France set the template for the fucking up of the Middle East to this day, but it’s worth noting in a bit more detail how cavalier they did so–as they have done ever since, as pompous essays in Foreign Affairs, the policy journal, does to this day–and how cavalierly the New York Times reported it on April 26, 1920. The full Headline over four columns, as you can see in the image above, didn’t even give the partition of the Middle East top billing. It was sandwiched between Armenia and that ridiculous claim by the Italian prime minister at the time, Francesco Saverio Vincenzo de Paola Nitti, who thought hat–as the paper reports–“nine-tenth of the troubles of these days is due to the fact that the world has forgotten how to smile and to seethe beautiful things.” Meanwhile, as the headline unwittingly alludes to it, the Armenian holocaust was barely done with, and the Middle East’s nightmare was just getting set in the West’s stoning. The Times reported it this way, referring to the Supreme War Council at Versailles: “The Council decided to make Great Britain the mandatary for Mesopotamia and Palestine and France the mandatary for Syria.” The Council decided. That’s all it took. Not a single Arab anywhere near Louis XIV’s pissing fountains. But the council decided. A few paragraphs further down, like an afterthought to premeditated fuckery: “With regard to Palestine, it is announced that it will be known as ‘The National Home for the Jews.’ It is also announced that the creation of a Jewish nation in Palestine will not affect the nationality of Jews in other countries, an that it will not change the status of the Arabs in Palestine. During the last thousand years the Arabs have been at home in the country, and their property and legal rights will not be disturbed by the establishment of a new Zion. England will exercise mandatory power for Palestine until it becomes opportune to make other arrangements.” And that was it. As simple as deciding what to have for dinner. No need to figure out how Arabs’ properties and legal rights would be protected, or by whom, if Zion were to have its own legal rights and properties. No need to explain. No need to trouble with details. Just draw the boundaries and be done with it. So they did. We have been paying the price ever since.

This was put most clearly by Foreign Secretary Balfour, in a damningly frank confidential 1919 memo that deserves to be far better known: “Zionism, be it right or wrong, good or bad, is rooted in age-long traditions, in present needs, in future hopes, of far greater import than the desires and prejudices of the 700,000 Arabs who now inhabit that ancient land,” Note that, in Balfour’s view, the “ancient” land of Palestine did not belong to the Arabs who constituted the majority of its population: these Arabs just happened to inhabit the country at that moment in times, and they did not have lofty “traditions,” “needs,” or “hopes” like the Jews, by contrast, they had the far baser “desires and prejudices.” Above all, they were not a people. In view of these revealing words, one can easily identify the source of the discriminatory language of the famous declaration that bears Balfour’s name, and of the Mandate document that he helped to negotiate.”

–From Rashid Khalidi’s The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood (2007).
