Oh and hi, I'm Knizer, I hope you find something fun from my compilation of events. I take some time each week to scour through listing for what I find interesting, mostly near our home of #Somerville #Massachusetts but extending throughout #NewEngland.
I do this to connect with like minded neighbors here on the fediverse - please, boost to things you find useful, maybe this post, a compilation of assorted events threads (which I crib from) and/or let me know you found out about an event via me (warms my heart).

Plant Sale at the Armory was a blast, a mix of ceramics, prints, plants, and even some eclectic art, every vendor had something a little different. tons of stickers to be had. If you missed today's event, there's a holiday market one in November, I'll try to note it in a month.
I'll plug a weirdo #roxbury based artist I met at this event, @justiceeatstrees (not currently on the fedi), who was a delight to talk to (and immediately clocked my #Polysics t-shirt).
