Weekend Things: Organic Veggies, Rip Tides, Antiques and More

The Rip Tides are the band you wish you were friends with in the 1960s. They're the frat boys with the surf boards on the roofs of their cars, heading down to the beach and playing early Beatles, classic Beach Boys and surf rock to lounge to. Come get the last taste of summer!
