If You’re Gonna Go All Out, This Is the Weekend to Do It
Hey there,
It feels like we’re taking my advice because of the number of us outside last weekend. Record-breaking! And from the looks of things, this weekend’s about to top that.
We’re talking back-to-back raves, live concerts, book clubs, trivia nights, art to soothe your soul, and parties stretching until sunrise. If your energy’s been waiting for a sign, this is it.
Full disclosure: this isn’t the cheapest weekend, but it is one of the most exciting. The good news? More free events than last week, and plenty of value packed into every ticket. Think of it as an investment in memories, music, and main character moments.
So, what’s the move? All of them.
Let’s get into it.

That’s your weekend lineup, and there's no single dull patch here.
Whether you’re sipping at supper clubs, making music memories, book clubbing in peace, or raving till your feet give up—there’s something with your name on it.
I’ll be bouncing between Otherside Book Club and some late-night chaos (you know I couldn’t pick just one), and I will be claiming my seat at Trivia Night on Sunday. So if you spot me, say hey.
Skip the planning if you must. Just don’t skip the fun.
See you outside,
Israel.
