We’re down to the wire on this newsletter kids, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. The weekend’s here. Summer is creeping towards Fall. August has begun. Let’s get out there and dance.
As always, if you don’t see something you like posted here in the newsletter, check out our full listings for the week on the website for way more parties. These are just the cream of the crop.
