Reasons To Leave Your House This Weekend

The weather outside may be frightful, but the things you can do are delightful. So whether it rains or snows, don’t let this weekend f-un go (without having a good fucking time).
Here is a list of things to do:
Friday:
The Later Sun & Andy Lion
The Later Sun + Andy Lion
9:30-12:30am @ the Taphouse
Cost??? | 21&UP (I Think)
Banjos, booze, boys, beers, bass, and beautiful betties will overtake The Taphouse this weekend. I was trying to do an alliteration thing to prove to you how BADASS this night is going to be. I think you get the point. The Later Sun has this hauntingly beautifulness about them that just gets me excited.

ABOUT THE WRITER
I like blaring shitty pop punk, singing along to Taylor Swift, Jellyfish, hair dye, video games (currently Skyrim), and anything Queen Elizabeth I. Oh, and I also am a worthy competitor when it comes to Just Dance.
