mark your calendars

Everyone told me that spring and summer in Clevo are awesome. With the exception of this recently passed Miserable March, I've always liked the city anyway, but now I'm starting to realize what they are talking about.

Anyway, there are so many cool things coming up this month, I thought I'd make a list for you guys. Things are always so much more fun when there is community energy involved. (Case-in-point: Indie Record Store Day at Music Saves the other day -- awesome turnout, and a great experience.)

2nd Annual Beachland Weenie Roast -- Sunday, May 4
