Hey - If you found out about something you didn't know about because of this thread, or if you went to something and want to report back, I’d love to hear about it.
There’s plenty going on this weekend in #NewEngland - these are only events that stood out to me as high quality (iconic, inexpensive, relatively low risk, relatively accessible, etc), so please send details if there’s something great I missed.
I put these threads together as a way to connect and grow our local part of the #fediverse, and I hope you enjoy your life in Boston this weekend.
If you like what you see, please boost. If you really like it, share this list with your off-fedi pals, and if you don't like it, I encourage you to make and share a better list! 🙃
