I already know this week is going to fly by because my social calendar is BUSY. Thursday, I’m heading to Cactus Music at 5:30 PM because my friend wrote a book about his dad being in a rock band in Jerusalem! I cannot wait to finally read it, and they’re doing a meet & greet, so come by and say hi if you’re around. 🎸

And today’s giveaway is a fun one: a 4-pack of suite tickets to The Wiz at Smart Financial Centre on November 1! Four tickets, a suite, and an excuse to get dressed up and make a whole night out of it. Enter for your chance to win!*
