Happy Thursday Wednesday, TNG-loving DC-ites! That’s right, we’re bumping up the Weekend Preview this week in honor of the holiday (and the fact that we’re all taking off tomorrow and Friday). While most of us are fleeing (yeah, Amtrak!) the District for the long weekend, for those still in town or those that will be leaving home as soon as the pumpkin pie is finished, there will still be some events going on to help you burn off that gravy and celebrate having moved far, far away from your family.Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

As always, if you know of an event coming up that you think your fellow TNG readers might enjoy, send the details to events@thenewgay.net and/or leave them in the comments below and we’ll throw them up on the calendar ASAP. And don’t forget, you can always find out about all kinds of DC-related events and stories by following the TNGDC Twitter feed.
