Tuesday Nites Just Got Better

The Poetic Calendar is posted. However, its imperative for EVERYONE to know that Tuesday nights are the shiznits. You can either come party with Jus Will at Different Peace of Mind Pub and Eatery, OR come vibe out with the band En Rapture with Harold Hardy and just have a Good Time. Thing is, Free.99 is biweekly. So, it would make sense to frequent both, right? Riiiiiiight. So here you are... Choose the blue pill or the red pill. Choice is yours.

Acceptance Beyond Race

A much needed conversation about race, gender, and cultural rights.
