BONUS DROP! Events you didn't know you needed.

Wasn’t planning to send another email so soon... but these events are too good not to share. Shopping warehouses, craft markets, Desi comedy, and more

Good morning, Markham!

I know I said I’d only send out an issue every Monday. But, I kept seeing all these fun events on social media and wanted to share them with you all.

I promised to tell you guys EVERYTHING I could find, so I could not possibly go on with seeing all these events and not tell you.

Alright, this is going to be quick-ish.
