Friday is here, Friday is grey, but we’re still going out to play ☁️ (a little poem for you). Tonight I’m heading to the sold out DJ Habibeats show at Art Club which honestly feels like exactly the kind of serotonin boost this rainy weather requires. One thing about me: if Habibeats is DJing somewhere, I will probably be there.

Don’t forget I made you a Memorial Day weekend guide — so make sure you check it out if you need something to do!

And if these gloomy days have you needing a little color in your life, I have the perfect giveaway for you 🌈 We’re sending one lucky winner to Elmo’s Got The Moves at Smart Financial Centre with a Family 4-Pack of tickets, which honestly sounds like joyful chaos in the best way possible. Go ahead and try your luck!*
