Hello! If you're new, welcome - I scour event listings for #boston #massachusetts and the surrounding #NewEngland region and compile the good stuff here, for you to enjoy, and to remind you why you live in this expensive metro region: there's smart and interesting people always putting on cool events within an hour of home. Enjoy New England!

If this kind of thing resonates, I hope you'll follow me or at least the #BostonWeekend tag. I know the draw of Other Social Media platforms is strong, but our little slice of the fediverse is pretty good, why not give another go at recruiting some friends here today, or making a project (like this one) where you post something good regularly?

Ok - on with the events!
