Nightlife & Culture Events - Week of Jan 9th
January 10, 2017 | By Diego Aguilar-Canabal
Every week, we release an events calendar exclusively for the 21 and up. Did we somehow miss the new hot basement live music show that only you know about? Be sure to tell us and gloat about how basic AF we are at .
Listen - we know it’s wet outside. But think about how romantic the rain is. Singing in the rain. Casablanca. Ryan Gosling in The Notebook. This is your opportunity to go out and find love. So go out there, and find love!
