I hope you've found something interesting to do this weekend from this thread - if so, I'd love to know if you ended up going to something you've found via my curated list. Its important to build community here in our space, and this is my little contribution towards making this space a little more welcoming and social. Cheers!
@knizer It's one of those weathers where I just stay inside, but it's good to know not everyone's lazy and cold.
@Craigp i mean, I walked to the farmers market and noped out on every other event today. Tis a right and proper call to stay in on the first rainy and chilly weekend day in months.
