Hi new readers (and hello everyone else too)!

We wanted to take a minute and say thank you for subscribing and checking out awesome events around our community.

If there are events missing here or you know of something coming up that others should know about, just reply to this and let us know. Have a friend at one of your favourite venues or watering holes that should have their events here? Just forward this to them and let them know about us.

Thanks again and now, here are some events.
