Event Details: DC Weekend Preview: Sex Toys and Dinosaurs Edition - :
Happy almost-weekend, readers! It’s the third weekend in October, and yet it feels like we should be getting ready for the holidays, as the weather in our fair District has taken a turn for the unseasonably cold and rainy. While it may feel like December has arrived early, there’s lots going on this weekend to keep you warm, including two very special TNG events! Read on for details!
As always, if you know an event coming up that your fellow TNG readers might dig, send the details to jolly@thenewgay.net and/or leave them in the comments below and I’ll throw them up on the calendar ASAP. Also, even though I’m personally on a mission of Twitter-cotting, you can find out about all kinds of DC-related events and stories by following the TNGDC Twitter feed.
