Hi friends,

I hope you had a wonderful July 4th weekend! I surely hope that you managed to stay cool during the heatwave last week. I was blessed with air conditioning and ice cream, and managed to survive, so I can mark myself safe from the heatwave ’26.

Nothing stops us from having a good time, though, and we continue the fun this Friday with our dear friend Myra Flynn returning. You know it’ll be a good time, and you don’t want to miss it. Tell your neighbor, bring a friend, or tune in on the stream if you can’t make it.

See you Friday!

Stay creative.

That’s Belizean Kriol for “What’s up?”(at least according to Google), and my attempt to remind you that our friends The Garifuna Collective are back with us this week! It’s looking like it’ll be a beautiful evening(or not. Who knows? We’re in New England), so bring a picnic chair, a blanket, or a cold drink, and join us for a great evening of amazing music and dance.

Stay creative.
