#BostonWeekend 2/x
If you're new, every weekend I compile a 'best of' list for Boston area events, often focusing on the neighborhoods near where I live in #SomervilleMA.

I started this project as a way to connect with local fediverse folks, and continue to do it to grow our local community here. I hope you'll boost this thread if you like this sort of thing, and maybe tell your local non-fediverse peers about it - its a nice talking point to hook them on Mastodon.
