LAST DAY OF AUGUST!!!

Idk how we got here but here we are! I hope you guys had a good weekend. 🫡

Mine started with Thee Sacred Souls + La Lom on Friday (SO SO GOOD) and ended with me finally doing about 30,000 chores I’ve been avoiding. I even cleaned out my fridge. Huge weekend for me personally.

I made it to the beach too, don’t worry.

Anyway, tomorrow is September. Labor Day weekend is coming. Holiday shit will slowly start appearing everywhere. NO I AM NOT SAYING SUMMER IS OVER. There’s still plenty to look forward to.

Like drinking 65+ different beers on a pier, apparently lmao.

Capital of Craft Beer Festival is coming to Broadway Pier on 9/19 with unlimited tastings, food, vendors + live music.

I have tickets to give away because of course I do. Enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Jon Batiste, Marcus King Band, Taj Mahal & Keb’ Mo’, and more play Telluride’s box canyon 9/8-20. Enter for a chance to win two VIP tickets, a hotel stay, and a ride from Montrose airport to Telluride.*

• Polyphia named their new album BE NOT AFRAID, which feels like good advice before watching Tim Henson do unreasonable things with a guitar. They hit SOMA on 2/10.

• A little Australian dance music for your November calendar: Bag Raiders are taking over Quartyard on 11/8. “Shooting Stars” in the courtyard? Yeah, I’m into it.
