Probably rainy Saturday 5/18, but like a 1/4 inch - highs in the upper 60s Friday, upper 50s Saturday & Sunday. Pack a poncho and/or the goretex, and don't forget your daytime SPF, despite the cloudy forecast. #mawx

(#BostonWeekend 2/?)

Through Sunday, its #Brimfield #Antiques Shows out in #HampdenCounty (kinda Between #SpringfieldMA and #Worcester, at least a 70 minute drive from #boston depending on the 'pike).

They have everything, not just antiques, across huge grass fields. If you like haggling with vendors and unique goods. The May sale is usually the best of the year as vendors unload their winter finds.

Dear reader, if you've found this or past #Boston weekend threads useful, holler - especially if you end up at one of these events.

I curate these weekly threads, exclusively here for the fediverse. I'd like this subset of the fedi to grow beyond ~12 bostonians shouting about how much we love bikes.

Boosts, sharing local-ish events you're interested in, and tagging posts with #BostonWeekend help to that end, and 'favourites/likes' just make me feel seen (which keeps me motivated to spend time on this entirely non-commercial project). I don't have to remind you that there's no algorithm here serving up suggested content, and no paid content mills yet - If your feed doesn't have stuff you want in it, its up to you to make that happen by either boosting or posting, ideally with tags.

Be well and have fun out there, #NewEngland! ✌️ (#BostonWeekend 14/x)

As a local agoraphobe I love these threads! I wouldn't otherwise hear about what interesting things are happening around me. And while most of them aren't my thing, and I don't usually make it to the ones that are, it's still nice to feel like I have the option.

@crystalvisits @knizer

That sounds like something I could do. I'll try to be there!

Thank you!

@crystalvisits @knizer

I'm so sorry I couldn't make it today. Will there be a next one?
