Happy Thursday, friends. 👋 Lexa here — I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve really been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather we’ve had. However, this weekend looks like itcould go either way(though it’s only Thursday, and we know how unpredictable the Holy City’s weather can be) so I’m bringing you a handful of indoor and outdoor events happening around town.
Ican’t say no to an oyster roast, so you’ll likely find me at Firefly Distillery on Sunday. Anyone else? 🦪
