Weekend Preview: DC Weekend Preview: Autumn Falls Edition
Event Details: DC Weekend Preview: Autumn Falls Edition - :
Guys, it’s here! As I hinted at last week, I’m kind of mildly obsessed with fall and all that comes along with it. I love the leaves changing, the weather getting cooler, the fact that everything has either pumpkin or apples in it (I would drink a jug of windshield wiper fluid if you put some pumpkin spice flavoring in it), etc. The only think i don’t love is the decreased daylight – getting up to run before work is hard enough when it doesn’t look like midnight when the alarm goes off. But more darkness means more time to party (assuming you’re one of those people who doesn’t drink ’til the sun goes down), and there are lots of ways to celebrate the beginning of fall this weekend in the District.
As always, if you know of any events happening this weekend that your fellow TNG readers might be interested it, you can leave the details in a comment below or email them to events@thenewgay.net and we’ll throw them on the calendar ASAP!
