Events This Week-End at Venues We've Never Mentioned Before

Call it the Red White Boston version of spring cleaning.

It's what happened this week, right around the time the sun started shining again, as we looked ahead in our calendar of bookings.

Suddenly there were events, and venues, and parties, and openings, and all sorts of fun beverage-related things sprouting up around town.

There's nothing new there exactly. But here's the thing: most of them were happening at places we've never been to before, or have (almost) never mentioned in these emails.

Which is why we're including them here today. And if you've got another something to add while we're at it? Just let us know.

Out with the old. In with the new.

Indeed.
