Happy Weekend! This is a special weekend because Gallery Hop will be celebrating 30 years! If you’re looking for easy parking, park in the lot at the Hubbard Mastery School and support the students. What’s on my schedule for the weekend? Tonight, I’ll be catching the Short North Stage’s season opener, Sunset Boulevard. Friday, join us at the CU Young Art Collectors show opening at Tacocat. And I’m dying to get to Hocking Hills to see the foliage and enjoy the outdoors, which was recently recognized as a national top thing to do. We still have tickets for you to win to the Wexner Center’s Landfall; Miranda July, Temples, Delta Spirit, and Old Crow Medicine Show. Make sure you are registered to vote!
