Weekend Related News

Hey everyone, so this is just a reminder that I'm leaving town tomorrow morning for a week. I won't have any internets where I'm going, but next Thursday I'll be in various airports that will surely have wi-fi. So if you hear of an event going on the weekend of the 12th through the 15th please email it to me and I will (I'm assuming) be able to put out the information in next week's WRN. Thanks. O, and happy belated 4th of July!
