Sure, no one is all that enthused about Tuesday – it’s stuck on the boring side of the week, with no one for company but lame old Monday.
Super awesome fun times aren’t just going to fall into your lap on days like today…. You’ve got to go out there and make them happen!
There’s no better way to do that than by checking out any (or all) of these events going on around the city today – or you could just mope around at home feeling sorry for yourself, it’s a free country after all.
