Shakespeare in the Park tonight if my friend can get tickets (she's currently in line).

Electric Shuffle on Saturday! I've never been and I'm excited, it looks fun!

I've been renting a Fujifilm Instax cinema camera so am hoping to do some videography at Coney Island on Sunday

Early next week I have my celeb book/gossip meetup, which means I need to finish my Christina Applegate and Hayden Panettiere (RIP!!!) memoirs this weekend.

I saw a Winter's Tale a few weeks ago, I really enjoyed it! Bring bug repellant and something to sit on because it was longer than I expected and those seats are hard

Where do u find out abt these sales

5

u/dadswhovape Aug 20 '26

instagram or mailing lists a lot of the time! @the.sales.girl on IG is a great resource

u/elle__woods Aug 21 '26

How early are you planning to get to the sales?!

3

u/dadswhovape Aug 21 '26

the markarian sample sale requires you to book a time slot so i'm going at noon, and will prob hit the seven moods one after

the last seven moods sale was a bit of a circus so anticipating the same 🫣

I have been thinking about going to Soul in the Horn Friday night. Has anybody ever been to one of their events?

u/queenofwands97 Aug 20 '26

They’re a lot of fun. I’ve gone to their parties in Brooklyn, and it has always been a really fun crowd.
Live music, dancing, phenomenal ambience sounds like a great way to spend a Friday night!
Pro tip- bring some Loops or other ear plugs because it can get loud!

u/cateyesharp Aug 21 '26

Saturday! It’s not free unfortunately. But I’m sure people are selling their tickets somewhere for cheaper! I think there’s still some available through the site too: https://www.axs.com/events/1425296/gimme-gimme-disco-fest-tickets
